North Korea has said any move to shoot down one of its test missiles would be considered a declaration of war and blamed a joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea for growing tensions, state media KCNA said.
Kim Yo Jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, in a statement hinted that the North could fire more missiles into the Pacific Ocean.
In a separate statement, the chief of the Foreign News Section at North Korea’s Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. of “aggravating” the situation by conducting a joint air drill with a B-52 bomber and planning U.S.-South Korea field exercises.
