defense minister His H made some comments last Friday in which he highlighted the South Korean army’s possession of various missiles capable of accurately and quickly attacking any part of North Korea if it detects a missile launch.

His H “he dared to mention a ‘preemptive strike’ against a nuclear weapons state in his senseless bravado, which will never be beneficial to South Korea”, said kimwhich pointed out that Pyongyang “will reconsider many things” regarding Seoul, which “You may face a serious threat for your reckless comments.”

“North Korea should discipline itself if it wants to avoid a disaster”he added kim.

In another statement also published today, the North Korean soldier and politburo member Pak Jong-chon also referred to Suh’s words and assured that if seoul embarks on “a dangerous military action”, Pyongyang “He will mercilessly direct his entire military force to destroy important targets in seoul and his army.

“The Korean peninsula is technically at war. Any slight misjudgment and misstatement that disturbs the other side in the current situation, in which acute military tension persists, can become a spark that triggers a dangerous conflict and a full-fledged war.”Pack said.

Both countries have never signed a peace agreement after the civil war that confronted them between 1950 and 1953, which ended with an armistice.

The tension between the two countries has increased this year with the repeated missile tests, the most recent last week, with which it has already accumulated 12 tests, a record number for 2022.

The North’s tests have been met on occasion by tests of South Korean weapons.
