In response to the comments, Ms Bishop said Pyongyang's threat "underlines the need for the regime to abandon its illegal nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs".
"These present a grave threat to its neighbours, and if left unchecked, to the broader region including Australia," she said."
The North Korean Government should invest in the welfare of its long-suffering citizens, rather than weapons of mass destruction."]
