Seoul tells North Korea that using its nukes would mean the “end” of Kim Jong Un’s regime, after Pyongyang threatened nuclear retaliation over growing US military deployments on the peninsula
In its now-defunct 2013 nuclear policy law, the North said only that its nuclear weapons could be used to"repel invasion or attack from a hostile nuclear weapons state and make retaliatory strikes".
Aside from an attack on the North's leadership or the nuclear command and control system, the scenarios include"an inevitable situation in which it is compelled to correspond with catastrophic crisis to the existence of the state", and"the need for operation for preventing the expansion and protraction of a war".
The North is making use of the"US nuclear strategic assets being deployed on the Korean Peninsula" to account for their behaviour, he said.

US soldier got in fights, damaged police car before dash to North Korea - court docsSEOUL (Reuters) -Months before he fled into North Korea, U.S. soldier Travis King faced two assault allegations and was fined by a South Korean court for damaging a police car, according to a court ruling and a lawyer who represented him. The U.S. military was scrambling to establish the fate of King, who made an unauthorised crossing of the inter-Korean border into North Korea on Tuesday, throwing Washington into a new crisis in its dealing with the nuclear-armed state. U.S. officials said he had finished serving time in detention in South Korea for an unspecified infraction and was transported by the U.S. military to the airport to return to his home unit in the United States, when he apparently decided to join a tour to the North Korean border.
