North Korea fires cruise missiles to counter US-South Korean military drills that “can be regarded as a declaration of war” – state media
Pyongyang test fires aim to examine North Korea's capability to counter what it called a"deadly nuclear attack of hostile forces."North Korea has said it had fired cruise missiles and claimed that ramped-up US-South Korean military drills "can be regarded as a declaration of war".
The exercise demonstrated North Korea's "deadly nuclear counterattack capability against the hostile forces", it said. Pyongyang said that criticism was "unfair and unbalanced", and on Friday called on the global body – which met this week to discuss the North Korean launches – to "bitterly condemn" Seoul and Washington over their joint military exercises.More joint drills
South Korea does not have atomic weapons and remains officially committed to nuclear non-proliferation, even as calls grow domestically to consider getting its own nukes.
