The Philippines will impound a suspected North Korean cargo vessel docked at a port northwest of Manila and eventually deport its crew under terms of the tough new United Nations sanctions in response to Pyongyang’s recent nuclear and ballistic missile tests, a presidential spokesman said Saturday.
On Friday, North Korea strongly condemned the new resolution and threatened a strong response, according to China's official Xinhua News Agency. It is the "worst and most explicit international criminal act that aims to isolate and stifle the defensive and just sovereign state," says a statement of a government spokesman.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, for the second day in a row, said the country's "nuclear warheads need to be ready for use at any time," the North's official Korea Central News Agency reported Friday.
