North Korea on Thursday committed to continue building up its "nuclear war deterrent" in the face of what it claimed was the U.S.'s hostile policy, in a statement released to mark 70 years since the outbreak of the Korean War.
A 5500-word report, published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Institute for Disarmament and Peace, blamed the U.S. for the failure in DPRK-U.S. dialogue and "pushing" North Korea to "counter nuclear with nuclear."
