North Korea said Thursday the current port visit of a US nuclear-armed submarine to South Korea 'may fall under the conditions' for Pyongyang to use nuclear weapons, its defence minister said.
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Thursday the current port visit of a US nuclear-armed submarine to South Korea "may fall under the conditions" for Pyongyang to use nuclear weapons, its defence minister said.
A White House official announced on Tuesday that a US nuclear-armed submarine was making a South Korean port call for the first time in four decades. Seoul and Washington have ramped up defence cooperation in response to Pyongyang's threats and repeated missile launches, staging joint military exercises with advanced stealth jets and US strategic assets.
The US-led United Nations Command has said it is working with Pyongyang's military to "resolve this incident" but, with relations between Pyongyang and Washington at one of their lowest points in years, it's unclear what will happen.
