In the midst of conflict in the Middle East, North Korea has come to remember its good memories. The North Korean regime has threatened to use atomic weapons “without hesitation” in the event of an attack by South Korea and the United States, its leader Kim Jong Un announced in remarks reported Friday by the agency. official KCNA.

Pyongyang “will without hesitation use all offensive means at its disposal, including nuclear weapons” if “the enemy” attacks the country using “armed forces”, he had already underlined on Wednesday, in a context of great tensions with Seoul, in reference to the military alliance between South Korea and the United States.

Against the Seoul-Washington alliance

Kim Jong Un threatened a “resolute and overwhelming response” from his army and the Seoul-Washington alliance, knowing that tens of thousands of American troops are stationed in South Korea. The North Korean leader’s remarks came as South Korea celebrated its Armed Forces Day on Tuesday. On this occasion, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol affirmed that Kim Jong Un would face the “end of his regime” in the event of the use of nuclear weapons.

Relations between the two countries are extremely complicated, marking one of the most tense periods in recent years. Pyongyang notably announced at the beginning of August the deployment of 250 missile launchers on the border with its southern neighbor. Additionally, in mid-September, North Korea released images of its uranium enrichment facilities for the first time with Kim Jong Un once again calling for expanding the country’s nuclear arsenal.
