North Korea's top diplomat has called US President Donald Trump's speech to the UN "the sound of a barking dog".
Speaking to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Mr Trump said he would "totally destroy" North Korea if it posed a threat to the US or its allies.
Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho's comments were North Korea's first official response to the speech.
The North has continued to develop its nuclear and weapons programmes, in defiance of a UN ban.

Let's hope that cooler minds prevail and that this doesn't escalate any further.
