North Korea threatened that if a new war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, the United States would be destroyed by nuclear weapons.

According to Tass, the North Korean embassy in Russia said in a press release ahead of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War on the 20th of the local time. "North Korea (North Korea) has strategic missiles and nuclear weapons." Anyone willing to punish can be punished relentlessly."

He continued, "The beginning of the war on the Korean Peninsula will be recorded in human history as a very special event that will bring an end to another empire called the United States."

"The United States has been learning new hostilities without learning lessons from the Korean Peninsula for decades," said the embassy.

He argued that the main purpose of the military action was to "move and deploy US military forces from the overseas and mainland to the Korean Peninsula and to rapidly attack North Korea."

North Korea's intense criticism of the United States came as the tensions on the Korean Peninsula have risen more than ever due to the recent bombing of North Korea's Gaeseong inter-Korean joint office.
