North Korea threatens Japan over spy satellite plans
North Korea has told Japan it will face self-destruction if it pushes ahead with its plan to launch a spy satellite into orbit this week.
The official Korean Central News Agency has accused Japan of acting as "a shock brigade" for the launch of a US pre-emptive attack and nuclear war against North Korea.
State media says if Japan takes the road of submission to what it calls the US policy of re-invasion, Japan will not have its security guaranteed but will face self-destruction.
Earlier today, North Korea said it had told the United States it was pulling out of regular military liaison talks at the Demilitarised Zone frontier because of the US military exercises in the South.
