AUSTRALIAN Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has hit back at North Korea’s “reckless and dangerous” actions that he says are threatening world peace after the rogue state singled out Australia.

 

North Korea warned Australia it would be committing a “suicidal act” by backing up US and South Korean military forces in the case of an attack.

On Monday, Mr Turnbull called for countries to double down on their efforts to bring North Korea into line.

 

“North Korea has shown it has no regard for the welfare of its own population, no regard for the security and good relations with its neighbours and no regard for international law,” he said in a statement to the ABC.
