    North Korea threatens nuke strikes on US, South Korea
  • North Korea issued a "pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" threat to the US and South Korea.

    The threat was given as a reaction to the commencement of large U.S.-South Korean military drills.

    The North's powerful National Defense Commission said that it would annihilate all enemy bases, reducing them to 'flames and ashes'.

    South Korean Defense Ministry asked North Korea to refrain from 'rash acts'.

    North Korea carries out controversial rocket launch

    North Korea carries out controversial rocket launch
  • Greatly angering the international community, North Korea launched a long-range rocket which may have put an object in orbit on 12 December 2012.

    United States and South Korea, consider the launch to be a facade for testing ballistic missile technology and a breach of UN Security-council resolutions.

    The nuclear-armed North has however said its goal was to put a scientific satellite in space.

    Dedicated to building its military!

  • One third of North Korea's national income is spent on its military operations, as confirmed by a 2011 report from the South Korean government.

  • North Korea detonated its 'miniaturized nuclear device' in clear defiance of UN Security Council orders to halt all atomic activity or face more sanctions and international rebuke.

    This is a big leap for North Korea towards its goal of building a nuclear warhead that could threaten US in the future.

    US called this action "highly provocative" and urged for international action against North Korea.
