SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea is lashing out against ongoing U.S.-South Korea military exercises and warns it will boost its "war deterrent" against military threats.

A spokesman for North Korea's Foreign Ministry says the North "will increase its war deterrent in every way as long as the U.S. and its followers continue posing military threats to it."

The criticism comes two days after South Korea and the U.S. launched Ulchi Freedom Guardian, an annual computer-simulated war game.

The North has called the drills a prelude to an attack.
