North Korea has criticised Australia for supporting America's tough stance on Pyongyang and says if it continues to do so, a disaster will happen.
In a statement on the state‑run news agency, North Korea accused Australia of "dangerous moves" by joining what it calls the frenzied political and military provocations of the US.
It said Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop had personally expressed her support for the United States' stance to consider all options, including the use of force towards Pyongyang.
In its warning, the North Korean Foreign Ministry statement said Australia would not be able to avoid disaster if it continued to align itself with the US and South Korea.
Bishop last week said she had real concerns North Korea might launch another missile test to coincide with a meeting of China's Communist Party Congress.
