North Korea is warning the U.S. of “more gift packages” in the wake of Pyongyang’s latest hydrogen bomb test.
“The recent self-defense measures by my country, DPRK, are a gift package addressed to none other than the U.S.,” Han Tae Song, the ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), said on Tuesday to the United Nations in Geneva, Reuters reported.
“The U.S. will receive more gift packages from my country as long as its relies on reckless provocations and futile attempts to put pressure on the DPRK,” he said.
The comments come after North Korea said this past weekend that it had successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb that can be placed on an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
