SEOUL: North Korea's Kim Jong Un would face the end of his regime if he used his nuclear weapons against the South, its president said on Tuesday (Oct 1), as Seoul staged a parade showcasi
South Korea n President Yoon Suk Yeol delivers his speech during a celebration to mark the 76th anniversary of Korea Armed Forces Day, in Seongnam, South Korea , on Oct 1, 2024. Fighter jets flew over downtown Seoul and tanks rolled through the streets, as South Korea displayed weaponry including its largest ballistic missile, the Hyunmoo-5, which is capable of destroying underground bunkers, for the first time.
"That day will be the end of the North Korean regime," Yoon said, addressing thousands of service members gathered at Seoul Air Base for the event. North Korea slammed the B-1B flight and warned it would take"corresponding" action against what it deemed America's"reckless military bluff", according to a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
South Korea's spy agency later stated that the unprecedented disclosure was"directed at the US" and that North Korea was believed to be capable of producing a double-digit number of nuclear weapons from its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and plutonium. With a weapon on the scale of the Hyunmoo-5 - which experts say can carry an eight-tonne warhead - this could include"targeting underground bunkers where Kim Jong Un is likely to hide", he added.
