Pyongyang, SANA, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) condemned the US hostile measures against it pointing out that US is trying to lay a siege over it like Leningrad in World War II and Cuba during the Cold War.
In a statement carried Monday by the DPRK ‘s official KCNA news agency, a spokesman for the National Defense Commission (NDC) said the latest UN sanctions imposed on Pyongyang over its nuclear weapons programme were suicidal and could trigger a nuclear strike on the US mainland.
The UN Security Council adopted a series of sanctions on DPRK after Pyongyang conducted its fourth nuclear test on 6 of January and a space rocket launch a month for research purposes.
The NDC spokesman said the sanctions were the work of the US and other hostile forces that were intent on attacking DPRK in a flock to swallow it up, stressing that such procedures would not affect Pyongyang morale but would only strengthen its resolve.
The US and South Korea launched few weeks ago a large scale joint military exercises that Pyongyang views as a provocative rehearsal for invasion.
