North Korea said Tuesday it would use its nuclear weapons both to defend itself and to carry out a reprisal for any attack by its enemies.The communist country would answer any pre-emptive strike with "an advanced pre-emptive strike" of its own, the cabinet newspaper Minju Joson said.
The nuclear deterrent would be a strong tool to protect regional peace and carry out a "just retaliatory strike" which would be "merciless" on those who infringe on its dignity and sovereignty, it said.
The communist party daily Rodong Sinmun carried a similar warning in a commentary Tuesday, 15 days after the North carried out its second nuclear test.
"It is the revolutionary spirit of the army and people and the mode of counter-action for self-defence to decisively wipe out the aggressors, reacting to the enemy's high-handed acts with the toughest measures and its pre-emptive attack with the advanced pre-emptive strikes of Korean style," it said.
"The US imperialists had better give up their war gambling as it would only invite their self-destruction."
International efforts to negotiate an end to the North's nuclear programmes stalled in December and virtually collapsed in early April when the North launched a long-range rocket.
After the UN Security Council censured the launch, the North announced it was quitting the six-nation talks and restarting a programme to make weapons-grade plutonium.
It followed up with a nuclear test and has also launched six short-range missiles, renounced the truce which ended the 1950-1953 Korean War and threatened possible attacks on the South.
The North is now said to be preparing to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile as well as several medium-range missiles====>?On August 6 and 9, 1945, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by the first atomic bombs used in warfare.
