SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful sister warned on Saturday that a US-South Korean agreement aimed at strengthening deterrence against Pyongyang will lead to"more serious danger", state media reported.that North Korea would face a nuclear response and the"end" of the leadership there should it use its own nukes against the allies, as the two countries' presidents met in Washington.
"The more the enemies are dead set on staging nuclear war exercises, and the more nuclear assets they deploy in the vicinity of the Korean peninsula, the stronger the exercise of our right to self-defence will become," she said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. It will involve the"regular deployment of strategic assets" including the first South Korean port visit by a nuclear ballistic submarine in decades, a US official told AFP.
North Korea has defied years of punishing sanctions to continue work on its banned nuclear and missile programmes, and last year declared itself an"irreversible" nuclear power, effectively ending the possibility of denuclearisation talks.
