North Korea Threatens Nuclear Weapon Action On Japan, U.S. For Supporting UN Sanctions”Japan is no longer needed to exist near us.” HuffPost  14/09/2017 A North Korean state agency threatened on Thursday to use nuclear weapons to “sink” Japan and reduce the United States to “ashes and darkness” for supporting a U.N.

Let’s vent our spite with mobilization of all retaliation means which have been prepared till now,” the statement said…….. http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2017/09/14/north-korea-threatens-nuclear-weapon-action-on-japan-u-s-for-supporting-un-sanctions_a_23208647/
