North Korea's military vowed a new and unusually specific threat to its neighbors, saying it would reduce South Korea "to ashes" in less than four minutes.

The statement, released Monday when programming was interrupted on North Korea's state TV by a special report, comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula.

Earlier this month, North Korea was unsuccessful in a long-range missile launch, prompting worries that North Korea may conduct another nuclear test. South Korean officials say new satellite images show that North Korea has been digging a tunnel in what appears to be preparation for a third atomic test.

According to the Associated Press, the statement from North Korea was unusual in promising something soon and in describing a specific period of time.

The North Korean military threatened to "reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, (or) in much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style."

For months the North has castigated South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and the conservative administration for insulting their leadership and criticizing a new cruise missile capable of striking anywhere in the south.

South Korean officials responded, urging North Korea to end the threats. "We urge North Korea to immediately stop this practice," Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung-suk said, according to the Associated Press. "We express deep concern that the North's threats and accusations have worsened inter-Korean ties and heightened tensions."

Meanwhile, in a meeting Sunday with a North Korean delegation in Beijing, China's senior official on foreign policy praised the leadership shown by North Korea's new young leader, Kim Jong Un.

The meeting follows the April 13 launch of what the United States called a disguised ballistic missile test by North Korea. The rocket disintegrated minutes after launch.

North Korea says, "it would reduce South Korea 'to ashes' in less than four minutes." Was "South Korea" the name of their missile? chuckle

They have always been able to reduce South Korea to rubble in 4 minutes.... what's new?

India's Military spending spree and their energy ties to Iran, is what's going down.

South Korea: "Yeah well, we can reduce you and your shitty bases to inorganic dust in like 3 minutes and 59 seconds."

Its the same exact thing. It is not newer. Incomplete and taken out of context, again.

There is more at RT.

North Korea said it will reduce South Korea’s government to ashes in a matter of minutes, should a military escalation of the decades-old conflict occur.

The statement by the North’s military, carried by the state media, did not elaborate as to how exactly such an attack would be carried out. It mentions “special actions” that would “reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, (or) in a much shorter time, by unprecedented peculiar means and methods of our own style.”

So what? He did a repost, or close to it. Big deal. Why is this being treated as a source of contention? OP isn't bumping it to the top so why ride him? We have plenty to discuss and debate, this isn't worthy of bickering over. If we're going to argue, let's at least spend that effort on a topic with substance, not how bad the OP is for a repost.

You put your own emotions into the words. I was being as short and to the point as I could.
