PYONGYANG -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Friday
accused the United States and South Korea of preparing for a nuclear war
against it.
The United States and South Korea "are totally revising and supplementing
their scenarios for a war against the DPRK," the official Korean Central
News Agency said on Friday, quoting a statement released by the Korean
National Peace Committee.
The DPRK conducted its first nuclear test on Oct. 9, sparking a harsh
reaction from the international community and sanctions from the UN
Security Council.
The United States reaffirmed its commitment to provide a nuclear umbrella
for South Korea after the test, and has been trying to press South Korea
to support the sanctions.
"Such madcap nuclear war moves against the DPRK are an extremely reckless
provocation," the statement said, warning that the two countries were
driving the situation to the worst phase.
The DPRK said such action proved that the United States "has no intention
to solve the nuclear issue on the peninsula."
South Korea on Thursday joined the U.S.-led sanctions against its
neighbor by preventing the entry of any DPRK personnel suspected of
having links to the country's nuclear and other weapons programs.
The DPRK warned Seoul on Wednesday not to follow the United States in
imposing sanctions against it.
