This article focuses on the North Korean conflict covered by the Spanishand the British press in the period between March 21 and April 5, 2013. The following newspapers are analyzed: El Mundo, El Pais, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph. A case of appropriation of the conflict is observed in the British press where the same is described through the nuclear threat perspective which finally results in oversizing the military dimension. The Spanish press focuses on the political tension on global level along with the problem of the cyber-attacks and the media manipulation.

Keywords : North Korean conflict; nuclear crisis; framing; discourse.
