South Korea and the United States will face even greater security threats for going ahead with annual joint military drills due to begin this week, according to Kim Yo Jong, a powerful North Korean official and sister of leader Kim Jong Un
U.S. Department of Defense spokesman Martin Meiners declined to comment on the North Korean statement and said it was against policy to comment on training.
A spokesman for South Korea's defence ministry declined to comment on the preliminary drills during a briefing on Tuesday, and said the two countries were still discussing the timing, scale and method of the regular exercises. The exercises have been scaled back in recent years to facilitate talks aimed at dismantling Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programmes in return for U.S. sanctions relief.
Kim said U.S. military actions showed that Washington's talk of diplomacy is a hypocritical cover for aggression on the peninsula, and that peace would only be possible if the United States dismantled its military force in the South.
