North Korea threatens to bring ‘nuclear clouds’ to Japan

North Korea threatens to bring ‘nuclear clouds’ to Japan



North Korea threatened to bring “nuclear clouds” to Japan and mocked Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for acting like a “headless chicken” at the United Nations General Assembly when the leader urged U.N. members to force North Korea to end its nuclear and missile programs.

Pyongyang claimed Japan was inciting more tension in the Korean peninsula, calling its plea to end Kim Jong Un’s nuclear goal a “suicidal deed” that will end with a nuclear attack to sink the island, according to a statement released Monday by the state’s official Korean Central News Agency.

“Japan’s such rackets inciting the tension of the Korean peninsula is a suicidal deed that will bring nuclear clouds to the Japanese archipelago,” the statement said. “No one knows when the touch-and-go situation will lead to a nuclear war, but if so, the Japanese archipelago will be engulfed in flames in a moment. This is too self-evident.”

North Korea called Abe a “headless chicken” and said the country could be “the first victim of nuclear disaster in the world.”

North Korea has already fired two missiles that flew over Japan in the last two months. The missile from the latest launch in September reached a height of 480 miles and flew 2,300 miles out, putting it in range of U.S. territory Guam. North Korea then threatened to “sink” Japan and reduce the U.S. to “ashes and darkness.”

“The four islands of the archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of Juche. Japan is no longer needed to exist near us,” KCNA said in another message.

A top government spokesman for Japan responded to the threat by calling it outrageous and provocative.

Turkey 'issues arrest warrant for second US consulate worker' The US has suspended all non-immigrant visa services The detention of a member of staff in Istanbul last week has triggered a diplomatic row, prompting both sides to halt most visa services.
