The government of North Korea, through its news agency KNCA, today stated that North Korea will retaliate against any outside aggression.

"If the US and its followers infringe upon our republic's sovereignty even a bit, our military and people will launch a one hundred, or one thousand-fold, retaliation with merciless military strike. The nuclear program is not the monopoly of the US," it said.

Japanese and South Korean media reported that there were signs of two long-range missile launch sites being readied, one on the north-west coast and the other on the north-east coast.
It was previously believed a launch might come from the north-west site, not far from the Chinese border.

North Korea is also withdrawing funds from its bank accounts in the Chinese territory of Macau and elsewhere before they can be frozen by new UN sanctions, according to South Korea's Dong-a Ilbo newspaper.
