N. Korea's Foreign Ministry said it will respond forcefully to repeated U.S.
actions it regards as damaging to its security and regional stability. The
ministry cited a recent U.S. decision to sell $125 mln of advanced tactical
missiles to South Korea and a U.S. State Department plan to spend several
million dollars on 'human rights'-branded activities to collect and document
alleged N. Korea human-rights materials. The spokesperson said N. Korea
perceives persistent external plots and threats to its national security and
political stability and will respond forcefully to U.S. hostile acts across
multiple domains.
