North Korea warned on Monday it would inflict ‘the greatest pain and suffering’ on the United States if Washington persists in pushing for harsher UN sanctions following Pyongyang’s sixth nuclear test.
The detonation last Sunday was the country’s largest and prompted global outrage, with the UN Security Council set to discuss a new draft resolution presented by Washington that would be the toughest-ever imposed against the isolated regime.
The US is calling for an oil embargo on Pyongyang, an assets freeze on leader Kim Jong-Un, but also an end to textile exports and to payments made to North Korean guest workers.
Washington wants the Security Council to vote on Monday to impose the sanctions, despite resistance from Beijing and Moscow to the new measures.
In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, North Korea’s foreign ministry warned Washington that if it did ‘rig up the illegal and unlawful “resolution” on harsher sanctions, the DPRK shall make absolutely sure that the U.S. pays due price’.
