On Tuesday, North Korea vowed it would cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War. Soon-to-be-imposed sanctions by the United Nations regarding the nation's recent nuclear test and U.S.-South Korean joint military drills were cited as the reasons for the threat. Without going into details, the Korean People's Army Supreme Command warned of "surgical strikes" aimed at unifying the Korean Peninsula and that they possessed a "precision nuclear striking tool."
