(Newser) – North Korea says US sanctions on leader Kim Jong Un and other top officials for human rights abuses are tantamount to declaring war, the AP reports. The country's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Thursday carried by the official Korean Central News Agency saying the announcement of sanctions on Kim and 10 other officials was "peppered with lies and fabrications." North Korea has already been sanctioned heavily because of its nuclear weapons program. However, Wednesday's sanctions mark the first time Kim has been personally targeted, and the first time that any North Korean official has been blacklisted by the US Treasury in connection with reports of rights abuses. The State Department said North Korean political prison camps hold between 80,000 to 120,000 prisoners, including children and otherseparation zone, and various nutrition, hydration and sickness issues of the swimmers, with a bit of bad luck thrown in for good measure. No one factor or person was solely responsible for how it went on the day.
