Kim Jong Un Warns Of Nuclear Action If Sovereignty Is Threatened

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared that the country will not hesitate to deploy all available offensive capabilities, including nuclear weapons, if its sovereignty is threatened. This warning comes amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, as reported by media sources.

Response to South Korea’s Military Threats

Kim criticized South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for recent comments suggesting an intention to dismantle the North Korean regime. He stated that Yoon’s remarks demonstrated a disregard for regional security, branding them as provocative, according to KCNA.

Nuclear Readiness Affirmed

According to state news agency, Kim asserted, “If the enemy, seized with extreme foolishness and recklessness, attempts to use armed forces encroaching upon the sovereignty of the DPRK … the DPRK would use without hesitation all the offensive forces it has possessed, including nuclear weapons.” He made these comments during a visit to a military training facility for special operations units.

North Korea’s Nuclear Capabilities

Media reports indicate that North Korea has long pursued a nuclear weapons program and is believed to possess sufficient fissile material to construct numerous nuclear weapons. The nation has conducted six underground nuclear tests to date.

Rising Military Tensions

The situation escalated further when South Korea celebrated its annual Armed Forces Day, showcasing military might, including a ballistic missile capable of carrying a substantial warhead and featuring a flypast by a U.S. bomber, as per media sources.

Warning from South Korea

During the military parade, President Yoon warned Pyongyang against any nuclear aggression, emphasizing that such actions would be met with a “resolute, overwhelming response from our military and the U.S. alliance.” He ominously added, “That day will see the end of the North Korean regime,” according to reports.

Kim’s Stance on Military Threats

In his remarks, Kim maintained that the “enemies’ threatening rhetoric, action, trick and attempt did not check the DPRK’s powerful military strength and will not take away our nuclear weapons forever,” signaling North Korea’s intent to bolster its defense capabilities in the face of perceived threats, as noted by media sources.
