SEOUL, Jul 10 (NNN-YONHAP) – A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), condemned the U.S. plan to send a strategic nuclear submarine to the Korean Peninsula, in a press statement today.
The deployment of the U.S. strategic nuclear submarine, carrying nuclear warheads on the Korean Peninsula means that, the U.S. strategic nuclear weapons will appear on the peninsula for the first time since 1981, said the statement, quoted by the official Korean Central News Agency.
The statement called the U.S. attempt to introduce strategic nuclear weapons onto the Korean Peninsula “the most undisguised nuclear blackmail against the DPRK and its neighbouring countries, and a grave threat and challenge to regional and global peace and security.”
It urged the United States to stop at once all the provocative moves.– NNN-YONHAP
