US Air Force F-22 stealth fighter jet takes off from a base in South Korea
The General Staff of the Korean People's Army said it was formally notifying Washington that U.S. threats would be 'smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means,' according to a statement published by the official KCNA news agency.
The pronouncement came just hours after U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said North Korea presented a 'clear and present danger' to the U.S. and its allies after days of escalating rhetoric.
In the meanwhile, Chinese troops have been placed on a heightened state of alert along the country's frontier with North Korea after a series of warlike statements and actions from the pariah state.
