North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country was "ready to mobilize" its nuclear deterrent in any future military clash with the United States and South Korea, state media said Thursday.
"Our country's nuclear war deterrent is also ready to mobilize its absolute power faithfully, accurately and promptly in accordance with its mission," Kim said in a speech on Wednesday, according to Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency. This week, the US military held live-fire drills using its advanced Apache helicopters stationed in the South for the first time since 2019.
"Such a dangerous attempt will be immediately punished by our powerful strength and the Yoon Suk Yeol government and his military will be annihilated."The North has carried out a record-breaking blitz of sanctions-busting weapons tests this year, including firing an intercontinental ballistic missile at full range for the first time since 2017.
Impoverished Pyongyang has long struggled to feed its people and its economy has been battered by pandemic-led border closures as well as sanctions over its nuclear programs.
