Seoul: North Korea has threatened to turn South Korea into "debris" and completely break off all relations if South Korea doesn't stop confrontational activities.
The North's military issued such a warning in a statement on Tuesday carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
The statement said "the puppet authorities had better remember that the advanced pre-emptive strike of our own style will reduce everything opposed to the nation and reunification to debris, not just setting them on fire."
The North cited the remarks by a South Korean general about a pre-emptive strike against the communist country.
