North Korea’s Foreign miMistry said it will make the US pay a “due price” if Washington goes ahead with the vote on a resolution on harsher sanctions.
“The forthcoming measures to be taken by the DPRK will cause the U.S. the greatest pain and suffering it had ever gone through in its entire history,” said the Korean Central News Agency, reporting a ministry statement in English.
