North Korea denounced the US deployment of a naval strike group
to the region Tuesday, warning it is ready for "war" as Washington
tightens the screws on the nuclear-armed state.
The
strike group -- which includes the Nimitz-class aircraft supercarrier
USS Carl Vinson -- cancelled a planned trip to Australia this weekend to
head to the Korean peninsula in a show of force.
"This
goes to prove that the US reckless moves for invading the DPRK have
reached a serious phase," a spokesman for the North's foreign ministry
said according to state news agency KCNA.
"The
DPRK is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the US," he said,
using the country's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea.
