North Korea says missile tests simulate striking South with nuclear weapons
SEOUL, Oct 10 - North Korea's recent flurry of missile tests were designed to simulate showering the South with tactical nuclear weapons as a warning after large-scale navy drills by South Korean and U.S. forces, state news agency KCNA said on Monday.
"The effectiveness and practical combat capability of our nuclear combat force were fully demonstrated as it stands completely ready to hit and destroy targets at any time from any location," KCNA said. The United States and South Korea held joint maritime exercises involving a U.S. aircraft carrier on Friday, a day after the South scrambled fighter jets in reaction to an apparent North Korean aerial bombing drill. read more
"This series of ballistic missile and these various provocative acts are in clear violation of the U.N. Security Council resolutions and are absolutely unacceptable," Kishida told reporters when asked to comment on Monday's statement.
