North Korea Threatens To "Sink" Japan With Nuclear Weapons, "Reduce The US To Ashes**

Less than a day after US officials observed North Korea moving mobile missile launchers and engaging in preparations for what appears to be another missile test, a North Korean state committee has stepped up its belligerent rhetoric, threatening to use nuclear weapons to "sink" Japan and reduce the US to "ashes and darkness" after the UN Security Council passed new sanctions against the isolated country earlier this week, Reuters reported. The North also accused the US of "cooking up" the latest restrictive measures against it and demanded that the US be beaten "to death as a stick is fit for a rabid dog.

These latest threats follow reports from last night that US satellites had spotted the North's military moving mobile missile launchers and preparing hard sites for what's expected to be the country's fourteenth missile test of 2017. The revelations followed reports of new commercial satellite imagery confirming an earlier analysis identifying numerous landslides throughout the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site on the slopes of Mt. Mantap (and beyond) resulting from North Korea's sixth nuclear test. The data suggest that the hydrogen bomb test was up to three times more powerful than previously believed.
