White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders on Monday denied the United States had declared war, calling the suggestion "absurd". "Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country. Defense experts said North Korea would have difficulty shooting down a US bomber with missiles or fighter planes given its limited capabilities, and if it tried and failed, would appear weak. "So this sounds like another attempt by North Korea to 'deter by bluster' US actions the regime does not like." Ri warned on Friday North Korea might test a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean, in what would be North Korea's first atmospheric nuclear test.
