North Korea has warned the United States of "unimaginable consequences" from its "hostile" policy toward the nuclear armed state, urging Washington to accept its long-standing demand for a peace treaty.
The warning was made in a statement from the North's foreign ministry late Wednesday in reaction to fresh sanctions imposed by Washington last week, AFP reports.
The sanctions would "only heighten the spirit of self-reliance and increase the strenuous efforts" among the workers of its munitions industry and boost the proportion of materials for weapons production, the foreign ministry spokesman said.
