North Korea has denied involvement in a crippling cyberattack on Sony Pictures but has expressed fury over the comedy depicting an assassination of its leader Kim Jong Un. After Sony initially called off the release in a decision criticized by Obama, the movie has opened this week.
The defense commission also accuses Washington for being responsible for intermittent outages of North Korea websites this week.
The commission says the U.S. will face consequences for its hostility. (*****)
