North Korea has accused the United States and its allies of creating instability in waters off the Korean Peninsula that could lead to nuclear war, a warning that coincided with the US, South Korea and Japan staging joint naval missile defence exercises.
North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said on Tuesday that the country’s leader Kim Jong Un marked his country’s Navy Day stating that US-led hostilities in seas off the peninsula had increased the “danger of a nuclear war” and he promised to strengthen naval capabilities in response.
