North Korea has threatened unspecified attacks on the US in an escalation of a war of words following the Sony Pictures cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n
In a fiery statement, the North warned of strikes against the White House, Pentagon and “the whole US mainland”.<\/p>\n
North Korea denies US claims it is behind cyber-attacks linked to a film that features the fictional killing of its leader Kim Jong-un.<\/p>\n
North Korea has a long history of issuing threats against the US.<\/p>\n
The latest statement comes days after the US formally accused the North of orchestrating a massive cyber attack on Sony Pictures.<\/p>\n
“The army and people of the DPRK [North Korea] are fully ready to stand in confrontation with the US in all war spaces including cyber warfare space,” a long statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency said.<\/p>\n
