		</div><p>Pyongyang has vowed a tough response to any military action from the US after it sent warships to waters off the Korean Peninsular.</p>
<p>Washington has dispatched the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier and its battle group to the region for US-South Korea wargames. Tensions on the divided peninsula were already high because of recent ballistic missile launches by North Korea.</p>
<p>Pyongyang sees the annual wargames as a dress rehearsal for invasion, while the North&#8217;s missile launches violate UN resolutions. &#8220;We will hold the US wholly accountable for the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by its outrageous actions,&#8221; a spokesman for North Korea&#8217;s foreign ministry said.</p>
<p>The statement comes after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said US missile strikes against a Syrian air base in retaliation for a chemical weapon attack carry a message for any nation operating outside of international norms. He did not specify North Korea, but the context was clear enough.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you violate international agreements, if you fail to live up to commitments, if you become a threat to others, at some point a response is likely to be undertaken,&#8221; Mr Tillerson said.</p>
<p>The North has long claimed the US is preparing some kind of assault against it and justifies its nuclear weapons as defensive in nature. &#8220;This goes to prove that the US reckless moves for invading the DPRK have reached a serious phase of its scenario,&#8221; the North&#8217;s statement said.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the US dares opt for a military action, crying out for &#8216;pre-emptive attack&#8217; and &#8216;removal of the headquarters,&#8217; the DPRK is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the US.&#8221;</p>
<p>North Korea&#8217;s formal name is the Democratic People&#8217;s Republic of Korea. US navy ships are a common presence in the Korean region and are in part a show of force. On Saturday, the Pentagon said a navy carrier strike group was moving towards the western Pacific Ocean to provide more of a physical presence in the region.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump&#8217;s national security adviser, HR McMaster, described the decision to send the carrier group as &#8220;prudent&#8221;.</p>
