PYONGYANG, North Korea, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- In a strongly-worded statement, North Korea threatened additional retaliation for production of the Hollywood film "The interview."
The long statement from North Korea's National Defense Commission, whose chief is North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, called for unspecified attacks against the White House, Pentagon and "the whole U.S. mainland," accused the White House of involvement in the film and denied the nation was behind the cyberattacks against Sony Pictures Entertainment, the U.S. subsidiary of the Japanese Sony Corp., as it prepared to release the film, a fictional comedy about an assassination attempt against Kim.
