North Korea accused the United States of having declared war on them, the BBC reported.

According to the Foreign Minister of DPRK Ri Yong-ho, this gives grounds for his country to take down US bombers, "even when they have not yet entered our airspace." He made his statement in New York at the UN General Assembly.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said Monday the DPRK has every right to "take countermeasures against the United States, including shooting down American strategic bombers outside the DPRK's airspace, as Donald Trump declared war" on the Asian country.

Ri stressed that the the "declaration of war" means that all options will be on the table for the North Korean leadership.

In a show of American military might to North Korea, U.S. bombers and fighter escorts flew on Sept. 23 to the farthest point north of the border between North and South Korea by any such American aircraft this century. 

The Pentagon said the mission in international airspace showed how seriously President Donald Trump takes North Korea's "reckless behavior."

Theresa May has raised the prospect of backing military action against North Korea as she denounced the regime for its "outrageous proliferation" of nuclear weapons. Speaking at the United Nations general assembly in New York, she called for the world's leading powers to intensify efforts to force Kim Jong-un to abandon his nuclear programme, reported Inews.

The U.S. flew four stealth fighter jets and two bombers over the Korean peninsula yesterday in a show of force after North Korea's latest nuclear and missile tests, South Korea's defense ministry said.

Today's North Korea ballistic missile test has prompted a quick response from South Korea. It turns out that Seoul had launched two Hunmoo-2 missiles in response to the DPRK's test. According to the British newspaper Express, South Korea has wanted to show its northern neighbor that they are ready to respond to a military strike.

North Korea has launched another missile over Japan, a day after it threatened to “sink” the country and turn the US “into ashes and darkness”.

The United Nations Security Council passed a new round of sanctions in retaliation for North Korea's most powerful nuclear test every conducted on September 3. The resolution bans Pyongyang from exporting textiles while capping how much crude oil and refined petroleum products can be imported.
