North Korea has vowed to keep putting satellites into space, launch long-range missiles and conduct a larger-scale nuclear test, as a warning to its “sworn enemy,” the United States.
In an announcement by the state Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) the regime accused the US of pushing the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution which extended sanctions against Pyongyang.
KCNA said America's anti-Korean stand proved that Washington was hostile towards the ideology and social order chosen by the Korean people and was trying to use the satellite launch as a lever to topple North Korea’s leadership.
In the statement, Pyongyang said denuclearization talks hadn’t worked and vowed to protect its sovereignty with tangible counter-measures.
