N. Korea threatens to inflict ‘disaster’ on Australia

North Korea threatened Australia of dire consequences if it continues to back U.S. military, economic and diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang, its state-run media said Saturday.


The message on the official KCNA news agency said: "[Australia] will not be able to avoid a disaster."

“Lately, Australia is showing dangerous moves of zealously joining the frenzied political and military provocations of the U.S.,” the news agency added.

The threat came a day after senior Australian officials expressed strong support for Washington during a trip to South Korea.

Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told reporters her country is committed to the North’s denuclearization through diplomacy but is also ready for military action alongside the U.S.

Bishop said a pair of Australian warships will soon be heading to South Korea as part of their mutual defense agreement.
