North Korea has reported to have threatened a ‘miserable end for South Korea’s President and her American allies’. Pyongyang declared it would wage a retaliatory battle of justice against Park Geun-Hye, with its artillery units standing ready to turn her office into a sea of flames and ashes. The latest threat comes as Seoul and ally Washington conduct their annual Key Resolve and Foal Eagle military drills.
Tensions have been running high since the North carried out an atomic test in January, followed by a long-range rocket launch that was widely seen as a disguised ballistic missile test.
The UN Security Council responded by slapping its toughest-ever sanctions on the North for violating UN sanctions that ban the isolated state from conducting any ballistic missile test.
