🇰🇵☢️🇺🇸🇰🇷The DPRK has threatened the United States and the Republic of Korea with nuclear weapons.

The DPRK has warned of the possibility of using nuclear weapons in accordance with the provisions of the law on the policy regarding the state nuclear armed forces in response to the actions of the United States and the Republic of Korea. This is stated in a statement by a representative of the DPRK Ministry of Defense, released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The law, adopted in 2022, provides for the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on the country’s leadership and the nuclear force control system, as well as in the event of a threat to use nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction against the DPRK. It also allows for the use of nuclear forces in the event of a threat to strike important strategic targets and provides for the automatic delivery of a nuclear strike according to a pre‑approved plan if the nuclear force control system is under threat as a result of an attack.

“Such threats from enemies, related to an attack and the use of weapons of mass destruction against our state, can be considered the most important challenge to ensuring security, which requires the implementation of the relevant articles of the law on the policy regarding state nuclear armed forces,” a representative of the DPRK Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

He advised the United States and the Republic of Korea to “analyze what the enforcement of the relevant articles entails and to take it as a serious warning.”

The statement was prompted by a meeting of the US–Republic of Korea Commission on Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction, which took place on September 10. According to Pyongyang, the parties agreed to improve information exchange, enhance joint response capabilities, and intensify relevant exercises.

The DPRK’s defense ministry interpreted this as preparation for the possible use of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons against the republic. The statement also notes that similar scenarios were practiced during the joint military exercises of the United States and the Republic of Korea, Freedom Shield.
