North Korea warned Monday that it would launch a preemptive nuclear attack against the U.S. and South Korea if they showed the “slightest sign of aggression” toward Pyongyang while conducting their annual military drills.

The North’s Foreign Ministry said its “first-strike” units are prepared to conduct retaliatory strikes on South Korean and U.S. forces, threatening to turn the two nations into “a heap of ashes.”

This is a rough translation of North Korean threat levels:

2. All-out merciless attacks — nothing happens.
3. Reduce your land to ashes — nothing happens.
4. Constructive peace talks — proceed to fallout shelters.
