North Korea threatens to invade U.S. if military exercises in South Korea are not canceled

North Korea has threatened to invade the U.S. if it does not cancel its multinational military exercises in South Korea, which are scheduled to begin on Monday. These military exercises are intended to ensure the stability of the region, and have been conducted annually. North Korea has also made threats annually, but its threats are especially intense this year. They claim to have “offensive and defensive means unknown to the world”. North Korea has also threatened to make “indiscriminate” attacks against South Korea. A former U.S. Army general who previously took part in the annual drills said that the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is only seeking attention.
