North Korea on Friday threatened an "unprecedentedly" strong response to upcoming US-South Korea joint military drills, describing them as preparations for war.
North Korea has long condemned joint US-South Korea military drills, calling them rehearsals for an invasion. If Washington and Seoul go ahead with the drills, "they will face unprecedentedly persistent and strong counteractions", the statement added. The exercise next week will focus on "joint planning, joint management and joint response with Washington's nuclear assets" in case of a nuclear attack by Pyongyang, a South Korean defence ministry official told AFP on Friday.
