North Korea will use nuclear weapons against its neighbor in an attack from South Korea. “This is not just a threat. This is a detailed explanation of our response to possible reckless military action by South Korea,” Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un, said on Tuesday. .
The South can avoid that fate by giving up on any “fantastic daydream” of a preemptive strike on a nuclear-armed state, Yo Jong said. South Korea’s Defense Minister Suh Wook said on Friday that his country has a range of missiles with vastly improved range, accuracy and performance, capable of accurately and quickly hitting any target in North Korea.
Kim Yo Jong called the statement a “very big mistake”. Pyongyang opposes a war that would devastate the peninsula and does not consider South Korea its main enemy. If South Korea for some reason decides to proceed with the preventive military action touted by Suh Wook, the situation will change and South Korea itself will become a target.
North Korea has already tested an unusually large number of increasingly powerful missiles this year. South Korea and the US fear the country could be preparing to test nuclear weapons for the first time since 2017 amid stalled negotiations.
