South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Monday North Korea's missile and nuclear weapons programmes have reached a level where they pose a threat to regional and world peace.

Yoon made the comment at a Memorial Day event a day after North Korea launched a barrage of short-range ballistic missiles in probably its largest single test.
