N. Korea delivers unusual warning to S. Korea: We will level you ‘to ashes’ in 4 minutes

North Korea’s military released a hostile, yet strange, statement vowing to take ‘special actions’ against South Korea.


PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea promised Monday to reduce South Korea’s conservative government “to ashes” in less than four minutes, in an unusually specific escalation of recent threats aimed at its southern rival.
The statement by North Korea’s military, carried by state media, comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula. Both Koreas recently unveiled new missiles, and the North tried unsuccessfully to launch a long-range rocket earlier this month.
The growing animosity has prompted worries that North Korea may conduct a nuclear test — something it did after rocket launches in 2006 and 2009. South Korean intelligence officials say recent satellite images show the North has been digging a new tunnel in what appears to be preparation for a third atomic test.
North Korea’s military vowed in its statement to begin “special actions” soon against the government and conservative media companies that would “reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, (or) in much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style.”
