US ready with counter provocation plan against N Korea

April 03, 2013 11:34

Amid escalating tension in the Korean peninsula, the US today said it has devised a counter-provocation plan along with its allies to respond to North Korea's bellicose rhetoric and provocative actions.

"We have plans in place with our South Korean allies, and naturally we hope never have to put any of these plans into place," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said, adding that the plan is led by South Korea's joint chiefs of staff.

North Korea has declared a "state of war" with South and warned that US bases in Hawaii and Guam would be targeted in what could turn into "an all-out war, a nuclear war".
