Against backdrop of increasing UN sanctions aimed at Pyongyang, North Korea issues propaganda video that presents US president, American troops on fire, nuclear device explosion
A new North Korean video portrays President Barack Obama and
American troops in flames and says the North conducted its recent nuclear test because of US hostility.
The video follows a string of critical rhetoric against the United States. Another video posted earlier this month showed an American city being attacked by missiles.
The most recent video, posted Sunday by a YouTube account affiliated with a pro-reunification government agency, shows a blazing fire superimposed over footage of Obama, and ends with a generic simulation of a nuclear device
exploding underground.

The United States currently is negotiating in the Security Council for
stronger UN sanctions against Pyongyang following a Feb. 12 nuclear test in the far northeast, the country's third since 2006.
