North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a threat to use nuclear weapons to destroy South Korea in response to heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula. This comes after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol warned that any use of nuclear weapons by North Korea would result in the end of its regime.
Kim's statement, made during a visit to an army base in the western part of the country, emphasized that Pyongyang would not hesitate to use all offensive forces at its disposal, including nuclear weapons, if its sovereignty were encroached upon. He further stated that in such a scenario, the permanent existence of Seoul and South Korea would be impossible.
