North Korea has called on South Korea and the U.S. to cancel their annual joint military exercises next month.
 
The North’s Committee for Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland said in a statement on Wednesday the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle military exercises are tantamount to a declaration of "full-scale nuclear war."
 
The committee warned the U.S. and South Korea to stop any military exercises that will ruin inter-Korean relations.
 
It said the drills, if carried out, will destroy inter-Korean ties and result in unimaginable calamities and disasters.
