North Korea ends peace pacts with South
End Of Days News
The announcement follows a fresh round of UN sanctions punishing Pyongyang
for its nuclear test last month.
Earlier, Pyongyang said it had a right to carry out a pre-emptive nuclear
strike and was pulling out of the armistice that ended the Korean War.
The US said "extreme rhetoric" was not unusual for Pyongyang.
China, which is the North's only major ally, called for both North and South
to show restraint and to continue talking.
Beijing rarely criticises its ally, but has criticised the North's nuclear
tests and has given support to the UN's sanctions.
South Korea's President Park Geun-hye said the current security situation was
"very grave" but that she would "deal strongly" with provocation from the
North.
She also said she was ready to talk to Pyongyang if it "comes out on the path
toward change".
