The defense ministry said in response to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s strong criticism of the Yun Seok-yeol government, the threat is not new.
Moon Hong-shik, deputy spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said at a regular briefing today that Kim Jong-un’s threat is not new and that North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats continue to escalate.
He then emphasized the importance of strengthening the ROK-U.S. combined defense posture by increasing the US’s ability to execute extended deterrence, and on the other hand, strengthening our three-axis system to increase deterrence and responsiveness.
