North Korea Threatening Military Action Against South Korea And The U.S.

AFP: North Korea threatens imminent strikes against South, warns US

North Korea on Saturday threatened South Korea with "indiscriminate" military strikes unless it halts cross-border propaganda broadcasts, and issued fresh nuclear weapons warnings against the United States.

The threats came amid escalating military tensions on the Korean peninsula following a landmine attack South Korea blamed on the North and ahead of a major South Korea-US joint military exercise condemned by Pyongyang.

They also coincided with celebrations in both Koreas to mark the 70th anniversary of the Korean peninsula's 1945 liberation from Japanese colonial rule.

WNU Editor: I have never said this before on North Korean threats .... but I think this time North Korea is serious. Those broadcasts are effective, and it looks like the North Korean government is having trouble dismissing the content of those broadcasts to its soldiers who are hearing them.
