North Korea accused the United States of driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula "to the brink of war," and said it is fully prepared to counter any US aggression.

The North's latest burst of anti-US rhetoric came as Washington increases scrutiny and pressure on the communist nation over concern it may test-launch a long-range missile capable of hitting American territory.

"Today's grave situation in which the US ... is driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war proves once again that peace has been able to be maintained ... only because we have a strong war deterrent," said the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland in a statement issued Friday night.

"Our military and the people are fully prepared to cope with any US provocations and challenges," it said.

North Korea Warns of 'Annihilating Strike and a Nuclear War' if U.S. Attacks
Monday, July 03, 2006

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea would respond to a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war," the state-run media said Monday, heightening its antagonistic rhetoric.

The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper "analyst," accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state.

The North Korean threat of retaliation, which is often voiced by its state-controlled media, comes amid U.S. official reports that Pyongyang has shown signs of preparing for a test of a long-range missile.

"The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent," the report said.

DPRK stands for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The report accused Washington of escalating military pressure on the country with war exercises, a massive arms buildup and aerial espionage by basing new spy planes in South Korea.

North Korea routinely accuses the U.S. of aerial espionage, issuing a tally of such flights at the end of every month. The U.S. military doesn't comment, although it acknowledges monitoring North Korean military activity.
