(MENAFN) A senior North Korean official says the latest threat from the country's foreign minister of a potential atmospheric nuclear test over the Pacific Ocean should be taken seriously.
He said: "The foreign minister is very well aware of the intentions of our supreme leader, so I think you should take his words literally."
The Foreign Minister said in September that among rising tensions with the US,
Pyongyang may consider operating "the most powerful detonation" of a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean.
The minister has declared this after President Trump warned that North Korea will be destroyed completely if it threatened the US.
