North Korea promises response to U.N. sanctions- Reuters.com:
SEOUL, (Reuters) - "North Korea has denounced sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council in response to its nuclear test last week, saying they were tantamount to a declaration of war, its official media reported on Tuesday.

The statement from a Foreign Ministry spokesman, first broadcast on North Korean TV and later carried in its print media, said Pyongyang would not bow to U.S. pressure.

'The U.N. Security Council resolution, needless to say, cannot be construed otherwise than a declaration of war against the DPRK because it was based on the scenario of the U.S. keen to destroy the socialist system of Korean-styled centred on the popular masses,' its KCNA news agency reported the spokesman as saying."
