North Korean regime vows ’thousand fold’ revenge over new US sanctions

North Korea has vowed to bolster its nuclear arsenal and gain revenge of a "thousand-fold" against the United States in response to tough UN sanctions imposed following its recent intercontinental ballistic missile tests.The warning came two days after the UN Security Council unanimously approved new sanctions to punish North Korea, including a ban on coal and other exports.

The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, called the US-drafted resolution "the single largest economic sanctions package ever levelled against" North Korea.
