Original: N. Korea blasts Iron Mace drills, vows to accelerate nuclear deterrence
North Korea has denounced the Iron Mace military exercises and declared it will speed up efforts to expand its nuclear deterrence. The statement follows joint drills involving South Korean and US forces, which Pyongyang routinely brands as provocation.
