Your accusation on Washington is absurd, US replies North Korea

The United States has announced that a statement from North Korea accusing Washington of declaring war on it was absurd.

The white house also warned Pyongyang to stop provocations after it said it had the right to shoot down us bombers.

A United States spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric said fiery talk could lead to fatal misunderstandings.

South Korea has called for a level-headed response, warning that accidental clashes in the region could quickly spiral out of control.

North Korean foreign minister, Ri Yong-ho told reporters on Monday that the whole world should be aware that the United States is heating up the polity.

Two days ago, United States warplanes flew close to North Korea’s coast in a show of force.
