SEOUL - North Korea’s foreign ministry on Sunday called on the United Nations to demand an immediate halt to combined military drills by the United States and South Korea, saying they were raising tensions that threaten to spiral out of control.

The US and South Korea will conduct more than 10 days of large-scale military exercises in March, including amphibious landings, officials from the two countries said, on Friday. North Korea on Saturday blamed the US for what it said was the collapse of international arms control systems and said Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons were a just response to ensure the balance of power in the region.

“The UN and the international community will have to strongly urge the US and South Korea to immediately halt their provocative remarks and joint military exercises,” Mr Kim said.
