N. Korea Envoy Warns S. Korea of 'Final Destruction'

(AFP) – South Korea faces “final destruction” if Seoul and its allies continue to push for tougher UN resolutions against North Korea’s nuclear programme, Pyongyang warned Tuesday.

“We have never recognised the propagandist resolutions on sanctions by the UN Security Council,” North Korean envoy Jon Yong Ryong told a session of the UN Disarmament Conference.

“As the saying goes, ‘a newborn puppy knows no fear of a tiger’. South Korea’s erratic behaviour could only herald its final destruction,” he insisted.
