N. Korea warns of nuclear strike on U.S. unless it changes hostile policy
SEOUL, April 27 (Yonhap) — North Korea said Wednesday the United States will face a nuclear strike unless it changes its hostile policy toward the communist country.
The Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, said in a commentary that the U.S. must make the strategic decision to either give up its hostile policy toward North Korea or find itself subject to a nuclear strike.
“Our patient proposals were completely denied by the United Sates,” said the newspaper, adding the North has so far made various dialogue proposals for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the conclusion of a peace treaty between Washington and Pyongyang to put behind the Armistice Agreement that was inked following the 1950-53 Korean War.
The newspaper said, “If the U.S. dares provoke the DPRK in disregard of the reality, it will only meet the catastrophic disaster in which its land may be reduced to debris by the latter’s nuclear strike of justice.”
The DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the North’s official name.
“What is clear is that if the U.S. persistently pursues its hostile policy toward the DPRK, the latter is compelled to take the counter measures for self-defense and the U.S. mainland is bound to be exposed to a nuclear disaster and the day of its ruin on our planet is also bound to come earlier,” it said.
