North Korea has warned the United States that's its "citadels" would be attacked and accused the government of being behind the creation of the movie The Interview.
According to CNN, North Korea dwarfed the cyber attack on Sony that led to the cancellation of the film's release.
North Korea also accused the U.S. President Barack Obama of calling for "symmetric counteraction".
