Summary:
North Korea has threatened that they are not targeting the U.S. and that it would be a new level of a nuclear test. This threat is apparently different because it is more specific than most which could mean that their nuclear and missile plans have improved significantly and successfully.

Analysis:
Personally, I am not too worried about North Korea attacking my country. I could be wrong, and that could be from not knowing as much about North Korea as I maybe should. And I know that the last time that a tragedy happened in the U.S. to this extent we were warned but did not take the warning and threat as seriously as we should have. That is the only reason why I might be a little worried about North Korea and history repeating itself. But as far as the facts go about North Korea, nothing is saying that the U.S. should really be too worried about this threat in my opinion. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared; it just means that there is no reason to overestimate Korea and do something that is not necessary.

Vocab:
Denuclearization: remove nuclear weapons from.
