SEOUL (Reuters): North Korea criticised a new US strategy on countering weapons of mass destruction for describing the reclusive state as among those it considers a "persistent threat," KCNA media reported on Wednesday (Oct 4).

In a statement, a spokesperson for North Korea's defence ministry accused the US of increasing nuclear threats, citing joint military drills with South Korea and sending a strategic nuclear submarine, the state-run KCNA report said.
