SEOUL, Oct 17 (AFP) Oct 17, 2006
North Korea warned Tuesday of "merciless" blows against any country infringing on its sovereignty in connection with new UN sanctions, the official KCNA news agency reported.

"As we have declared already, we will carry out our responsbility to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula," a foreign ministry spokesman said, quoted by the agency.

"However we will deliver merciless blows without hesitation to whoever tries to breach our sovereignty and right to survive under the excuse of carrying out the UN Security Council resolution," he said.

"We will watch US movements and take corresponding action."
