The paper added that Washington was making “brazen” efforts to stir trouble in the disputed waters in the South China Sea.

Gen. Vincent Brooks, commander of U.S. Forces Korea and the combined forces, called the test an “unacceptable threat” and said the bombers were just one example of the “deep arsenal” available to defend the peninsula.
“They are bluffing that B-1Bs are enough for fighting an all-out nuclear war”, a Korean Central News Agency statement said.
North Korea has stepped up its psychological warfare even after warnings were issued by the worldwide community.
“The meeting taking place in unprecedentedly grave security conditions will discuss comprehensive and powerful sanctions and pressure on North Korea”, the ministry said.
Critics both in the USA and overseas say Obama’s weak stance on China has led to its expansion and North Korea’s recklessness. According to its representatives, the deployment of the U.S. complexes would lead to tensions with Beijing and Moscow.
North Korea is capable of detonating another nuclear device at its main atomic test site any time it chooses, Seoul officials said Monday, as the United States reportedly planned to send two nuclear-capable supersonic.
The detonation, the latest violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, prompted President Barack Obama to promise consequences, including the pursuit of new sanctions against the already isolated nation. The latest test coincided with the 68th anniversary of North Korea’s founding last Friday.
However, China and Russian Federation, which strongly oppose a recent decision by the United States and South Korea to deploy an advanced anti-missile system in the South to counter the North’s missile threat, have shown reluctance to back further sanctions. The said bomber can reach North Korea in two hours after it leaves the Guam base.
The divide over the missile system, not to mention an array of other disputes between China, its neighbors, and the United States, will make a united front against Kim Jong-un’s latest provocation hard to build.
Two US jet bombers have flown over South Korea in a show of force and solidarity after North Korea’s nuclear test last week.
“The US imperialists keep letting their nuclear strategic bombers fly over South Korea in a bid to seek an opportunity of mounting a preemptive nuclear attack”, the agency statement said.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying told reporters Monday that Carter was “being too modest”. “The core of the issue is the conflict between the [North Korea] and the USA”, she said.
