North Korean foreign ministry slams recent U.S. “rogue state” designation

Institute for Disarmament and Peace describes recent DoD report as "declaration of confrontation"

The North Korean foreign ministry's Institute for Disarmament and Peace condemned a recent U.S. government description of the DPRK as a "rogue state" in a statement made Wednesday evening, warning of "countermeasures" against what it claimed is an increasingly hostile stance from Washington.
