North Korea has threatened to attack US military bases in Japan in response to the use of nuclear-armed US B-52 bombers in joint military drills with South Korea.
The threat on Thursday came a day after Pyongyang condemned the B-52 flights as an "unpardonable provocation" and threatened military action if they continue..

Pretty bold statement from the N korean Army even by their standards, combined with the news that the cyber attack originated in China this situation is becoming very worrying very quickly.
I'm just left wandering how much truth there is to the supposition that China and N Korea are co-ordinating their efforts to whatever end given that China and Japan are involved in the on going confrontation over the 'ownership' of the disputed island.
Very worrying indeed.

SEOUL, Mar. 20, 2013 (Reuters) — North Korea's supreme military command said on Thursday its "precision attack" weapons have U.S. navy bases in Guam and Okinawa in their sights and will attack them if it is provoked. "The United States is advised not to forget that our precision target tools have within their range the Anderson Air Force base on Guam where the B-52 takes off, as well as the Japanese mainland where nuclear powered submarines are deployed and the navy bases on Okinawa," the North Korean command spokesman was quoted by KCNA news agency. North Korea earlier made a threat to stage a nuclear attack on the United States, something that is well outside of its current military capacity, although the U.S. Pacific bases are in range of its medium range missiles. The North has responded angrily to reports that the United States has flown B-52 bomber sorties over the Korean peninsula as part of the annual military drills with South Korean forces.
