Pyongyang warned Friday that planned U.S.-South Korean military drills are pushing the peninsula to the brink of war.

North Korea's state news agency said the war games planned for this weekend involving South Korean armed forces and a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier in waters south of Tuesday's skirmish between the two Koreas are a reckless plan by "trigger-happy elements" and that the maneuvers target North Korea

"The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war," the Korean Central News Agency said. "Gone are the days when verbal warnings are served only.

Now, the army and people in North Korea are "greatly enraged" and "getting fully ready to give a shower of dreadful fire," the news agency said. "Escalated confrontation would lead to a war, and he who is fond of playing with fire is bound to perish."

The comments came as US General Walter Sharp, the U.S. military commander in South Korea, paid a visit to the island targeted by the North Korean artillery Tuesday.
