North Korea Declares War Against the USA...again

quote:

Han Song Ryol, director-general of US affairs department at the country’s Foreign Ministry, said the American government’s decision to include Kim Jong Un on a list of sanctioned individuals amounted to a “declaration of war”.

“The United States has crossed the red line in our showdown,” Han said. “We regard this thrice-cursed crime as a declaration of war.

“By doing these kinds of vicious and hostile acts toward the DPRK, the US has already declared war against the DPRK. So it is our self-defensive right and justifiable action to respond in a very hard way.”

Some interpreted Han’s words as the secretive state’s declaration of war with the US, and the rumours soon spun out of control on social media.
