Continued: the Pentagon has threatened a response to the provocations of North Korea
The foreign Minister of the DPRK ri Yong Ho said that the US President, Donald trump declared war on North Korea. About it reports Reuters.
“Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have the full right to take countermeasures, including the right to shoot down U.S. strategic bombers, even if they are not in the airspace of our country,” warned the head of the North Korean foreign Ministry.
He also added that “the whole world clearly needs to remember that the United States first declared war against” North Korea.
Earlier, on September 23, Lee Yong Ho, speaking at a session of the UN General Assembly, said that North Korea’s possession of nuclear weapons is a means of self-defense. “We have absolutely no intention to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against countries that have not joined the military action by the US against the DPRK,” he said.
