North Korea threatens South Korea for taking it to UN
None
North Korea threatened Sunday to retaliate against South Korea for taking it to the UN Security Council over the deadly sinking of a warship, calling the action an "intolerable provocation." On Sunday, North Korea, which denies involvement in the sinking, issued a statement saying the South's action will intensify military tension and could trigger a war on the divided peninsula.
"That is yet another intolerable provocation to us," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification said. The statement, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, was Pyongyang's first response to Seoul's request for UN action over the March 26 sinking. (AP)
