South Korea has strongly condemned North Korea for publicizing its uranium enrichment facility, calling the illegal development of nuclear weapons a clear violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions.
“Any nuclear threat or provocation by North Korea will be met with an overwhelming and strong response from our government and military, based on the solid extended deterrence of the South Korea-US alliance,” South Korea’s Unification Ministry said.
The unification ministry has cautioned North Korea against proceeding with any nuclear tests but warned of unprecedented sanctions if it defies international warnings.
North Korea has for the first time offered a glimpse into a uranium enrichment facility which produces material for its nuclear weapons.
Photographs showed its leader Kim Jong Un, who had earlier vowed to “exponentially” increase the country’s stash of nuclear weapons, inspecting the area.
