Moscow (AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered condolences to North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un over devastating floods that caused untold casualties and damaged thousands of homes, the Kremlin said on Saturday.

Kim Jong-un has found a new, and gross, way of annoying South Korea – with a flotilla of excrement filled balloons sent across the border.

The test was the first of an Pulhwasal-3-31 missile, KCNA state media said.

Pyongyang called the exercises “an act of seriously threatening the security” of North Korea that further destabilized the situation in the region, according to state media.

North Korea is formally abolishing a handful of key government agencies charged with promoting cooperation and reunification with the South, state media reported Tuesday.

Kim also ordered authorities to press ahead with work to manufacture more nuclear weapons.

North Korea's ambassador made a rare appearance at the UN Security Council on Monday to defend his country's launch of a spy satellite, as leader Kim Jong Un studied images including of the White House and Pentagon.

North Korea said Thursday it would deploy new weapons and stronger armed forces to the border with the South, as Seoul's spy agency said Pyongyang had received Russian help to successfully put a military spy satellite into orbit.

North Korea asserted Wednesday that a U.S. soldier who bolted into the North across the heavily armed Korean border last month did so after being disillusioned with the inequality of American society and racial discrimination in its Army.

The North Korean dictator has been impressing his visiting Russian guests with a parade featuring a slew of terrifying weaponry.

North Korea is reported to have detained a serving US army soldier who crossed the heavily-fortified border from South Korea without permission.

North Korea had confirmed Tuesday that it planned to launch what it called "military reconnaissance satellite No. 1" before June 11, having already told Japan of its plans a day earlier.

North Korea’s terrifying recent acts of aggression have left the world on edge – but it could come back to bite dictator Kim Jong-un.

North and South Korea have fired a number of missiles into waters near each other's coasts in a marked escalation of hostilities.
