A news report says the North Korean military has rejected South Korea's response to its recent provocations.
In a statement sent Thursday to the South, a North Korean general threatened the country would take unspecified "countermeasures" against its neighbor, Yonhap news agency reported. The agency did not cite any source. The Defense Ministry could not immediately confirm the report.
The exchange comes after the South complained earlier this week over North Korean comments threatening to turn the country into "ashes."
The North's tirade was prompted by South Korea's top officer saying last week that Seoul could strike suspected North Korean nuclear facilities if it had signs of an imminent atomic attack.
