The Sun of London reported Friday (capital letters and bold font theirs):
ROGUE state North Korea today sparked fears that it could trigger a nuclear strike as early as next WEDNESDAY.
Crackpot Kim Jong-un’s regime today issued a chilling threat to British diplomats warning them to get out of Pyongyang.

Russian diplomats have also been advised to evacuate. …

But rather than encouraging North Korea to back down, the US’s military movements have prompted even greater threats and belligerent rhetoric from Pyongyang. …
Some US analysts expressed alarm over the intensity of the North’s threats. Centre for Strategic Studies senior adviser Victor Cha said: “The rhetoric is off the charts.”
