North Korea says that it will take actual action to physically get rid of North Korean escapees who insult and disgrace its regime and dignity.

The North Korean Ministry of People’s Security announced the decision in a special statement through the North’s Korean Central Television on Wednesday afternoon.

Pyongyang also blasted South Korean and U.S. government officials and conservative media companies for stubbornly defaming and criticizing it.

North Korea lashed out at the Washington Post for reporting that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un gave out copies of Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf to senior officials as a gift. The North called the report fabricated.
