Utspelet är bara det senaste i en rad hot som Nordkorea spottat ur sig den senaste tiden. Tidigare i mars rev landet avtalet om vapenvila med Sydkorea i protest mot den gemensamma krigsövningen med USA. Nordkoreas utrikesdepartement har också hotat med en kärnvapenattack mot USA i ”förebyggande syfte”. Landets general Kang Pyo Yong sade för tre veckor sedan att Nordkorea är redo att skjuta av en långdistansrobot mot Washington som ”ska slukas av ett hav av eld”.
