South Korean and US troops are participating the military exercises which have angered North Korea.
As the United States prepares for military drills with South Korea, as well as approving a bill for further sanctions on North Korea, the nation hit back, threatening the United States with war.
North Korea used strong language against the United States on Friday, as a bill to increase sanctions against Pyongyang went through the United States Congress.
In Washington, a bill that would broaden sanctions against North Korea to pressure it into abandoning its nuclear weapons was approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The bipartisan legislation would impose harsher punishments on foreign companies doing business with Pyongyang and could affect mostly on Chinese companies.
“The DPRK will wage a merciless sacred war against the U.S. now that the latter has chosen confrontation,” the country’s official KCNA news agency stated.
Further angering the North Korean, the United States will also engage in the annual joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises in coming days.
North Korea says these drills are rehearsal for war against them, and in response has recently increased its own air, sea and ground military exercises.
The article further threatened the United States saying that, “Nuclear weapons are not a monopoly of the U.S. The U.S. is seriously mistaken if it thinks its mainland is safe.”
The United States Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman has said that the pressure on North Korea continues to increase, making it more isolated and attempting “to conceal a weak hand … through a clenched fist.”
