SEOUL: North Korea on Saturday called United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 'the worst destroyer of international peace and stability,' accusing her of inciting anti-North Korea sentiment and enraging China during her Asian tour earlier this week.

Pelosi traveled to South Korea after visiting Taiwan, which had prompted China to launch military exercises, including missile strike training in waters near the self-governed island. Beijing views Taiwan as part of its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.
