North Korea threatened South Korea with 'final destruction' during a debate at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament today, implying it could take further steps following its widely condemned nuclear test last week.
'As the saying goes, a new-born puppy knows no fear of a tiger. South Korea's erratic behaviour would only herald its final destruction,' North Korean diplomat Jon Yong Ryong told the meeting.
His choice of words left other member states stunned, with Britain's U.N. ambassador Joanne Adamson calling such inflammatory language 'completely inappropriate'.

'No fear': North Korean officials watched soldiers at a rally organised to celebrate the state's successful nuclear test last week
'It cannot be allowed that we have expressions which refer to the possible destruction of U.N. member states,' Ms Adamson said.
Jon Yong Ryong's comment also prompted sharp criticism from South Korea, France and Germany, while Spanish ambassador Javier Gil Catalina said it had left him stupefied and appeared to be a breach of international law.
'In the 30 years of my career I've never heard anything like it and it seems to me that we are not speaking about something that is even admissible, we are speaking about a threat of the use of force that is prohibited by Article 2.4 of the United Nations charter,' he said.
Since the North tested a nuclear bomb last week in defiance of U.N. resolutions, its southern neighbour has warned it could strike the isolated state if it believed an attack was imminent.
'If the U.S. takes a hostile approach toward the DPRK to the last, rendering the situation complicated, it (North Korea) will be left with no option but to take the second and third stronger steps in succession,' he said, without elaborating on what that might entail.
North Korea has already told key ally China that it is prepared to stage one or two more tests this year to force the United States into diplomatic talks, a source with direct knowledge of the message said last week.
U.S. Ambassador Laura Kennedy said she found North Korea's threat today profoundly disturbing and later tweeted that it was 'offensive'.

Poland's representative suggested North Korea's participation in the U.N. forum should be limited.
Impoverished and malnourished North Korea is one of the most heavily sanctioned states in the world.
It is still technically at war with South Korea after a 1950-53 civil war ended in a mere truce.
Washington and its allies are believed to be pushing to tighten the noose around North Korea's financial transactions in a bid to starve its leadership of funding.
Jon said last week's test was an act of self-defence against nuclear blackmail by the United States, which wanted to block North Korea's economic development and its fundamental rights.
'It is the disposition and firm will of the army and people of the DPRK to counter high-handed policy with tough-fist policy and to react to pressure and sanctions with an all-out counter-action,' he said.
Jon said the United States had conducted most of the nuclear tests and satellite launches in history, and he described its pursuit of U.N. Security Council resolutions against North Korea as 'a breach of international law and the height of double standards'.
Neither Russia nor China, which are veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council, spoke at the meeting in Geneva today.
Before its nuclear test, North Korea was already facing growing diplomatic pressure at the United Nations.
The U.N. Human Rights Council is widely expected to order an inquiry next month into its leaders' responsibilities for crimes against humanity.

"There is no Korea but the one belongs to the Kim dynasty" ?
"And I'd annihilate anyone standing on my way ... including China" ? Don't laugh ... this is totally possible considering Genghis Khan who was once a nomadic horseman actually collapsed the giant and highly civilized Middle Kingdom more than a millennium ago. So, please don't laugh.
