North Korea has warned the United States that it will pay a due price if sanctions against the country are agreed at a United Nations Security Council meeting on Monday.
The DPRK’s Foreign Ministry said Washington was exerting unreasonable pressure on Pyongyang to deprive the country of its sovereignty.
North Korea accused the United States of manipulating the UN Security Council over its ‘legitimate’ nuclear test to fabricate the harshest ever sanctions resolution.
“The forthcoming measures to be taken by the DPRK will cause the US the greatest pain and suffering it has ever gone through in its entire history,” North Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement.
Earlier, the country had successfully tested a hydrogen charge, which could be used as a warhead for an intercontinental ballistic missile. On September 11, the UN Security Council is set to vote on the US-led effort to impose harsher new sanctions against North Korea.
