Kim Jong Un has threatened to use nuclear weapons if the tensions with South Korea and the USA escalate into a war. The North Korean leader claims his regime’s ‘nuclear war deterrent’ is ready and would ‘annihilate’ its neighbour.
Kim Jong Un has threatened to use nuclear weapons if the tensions with South Korea and the USA escalate into a war.
But Kim’s latest intervention – in a speech to war veterans marking the 69th anniversary of the Korean War ending – takes the rhetoric up a notch. Some observers expect North Korea to intensify its threats as South Korea and the US prepare to expand summertime exercises the North views as an invasion rehearsal.Kim continued: ‘Talking about military action against our nation, which possess absolute weapons that they fear the most, is preposterous and is very dangerous suicidal action.
South Korea expressed ‘deep regret’ over Kim’s threat and said it maintains a readiness to cope with any provocation by North Korea in ‘a powerful, effective manner’.
