Peninsula calls for peaceful talks

A new video widely believed to be released on Monday by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea shows images of what appears to be an imagined missile attack on White House. The video appears to send a message that the Korean Peninsula has been pushed to the brink of war.

The third nuclear test conducted by the DPRK in February and its threat to nullify the Korean Armistice Agreement, along with the unanimous UN Security Council resolution on March 7 to impose new sanctions on Pyongyang have intensified tensions on the peninsula.

The Security Council resolution says the DPRK should desist from conducting further nuclear tests, abandon its nuclear weapons program and abide by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. It also says that the issue should be resolved peacefully through diplomatic and political channels, and the Six-Party Talks should be resumed.
