Kim Yo-jonga high-ranking government and ruling party official, said it was a “huge mistake” for South Korea’s defense minister to make recent comments about attacks on North Korea, state news agency KCNA reported.

South Korea’s Defense Minister Suh Wook said Friday that his country’s military has a variety of missiles with significantly improved firing range, accuracy and power, with “the ability to accurately and quickly hit any target.” in North Korea.”

North Korea has tested an increasingly powerful array of missiles this year, and officials in Seoul and Washington fear it may be preparing to resume nuclear weapons tests for the first time since 2017 amid stalled negotiations.

Kim and another North Korean official issued earlier statements Sunday condemning those comments and warning that Pyongyang would destroy important targets in Seoul if the South takes any “dangerous military action,” such as a preemptive strike.

In his second statement on Tuesday, Kim Jong-un said Pyongyang opposes the war, which would leave the peninsula in ruins, and does not see South Korea as his main enemy.

“In other words, it means that unless the South Korean military takes any military action against our state, it will not be considered a target of our attack,” he said.

“However, if South Korea, for whatever reason, whether or not it is blinded by an error in judgment, opts for military action like the ‘preemptive strike’ touted by (Suh Wook), the situation will change,” he added. Kim Jong Un. “In that case, South Korea itself will become a target.”

If the South Korean military violates North Korean territory it will face an “unimaginably terrible disaster” and the North’s nuclear fighting force will inevitably have to do its duty, he said.

“This is not just a threat. This is a detailed explanation of our reaction to possible reckless military action by South Korea,” Kim Jong-un said, noting that South Korea can avoid this fate by abandoning any “fantastic dreams” of launching a preemptive strike against a state. with nuclear weapons.
