North Korea issued a strong warning, threatening to shoot down any US spy planes that violate its airspace and condemning the planned deployment of a nuclear missile submarine near the Korean peninsula.

The North Korean Ministry of National Defence accused the United States of “intensifying espionage activities beyond the wartime level” and engaging in “provocative” flights with spy aircraft. They cited past incidents and cautioned that accidents could occur if such actions continue.

Additionally, North Korea condemned the planned deployment of US strategic nuclear assets, considering it blatant nuclear blackmail that poses a serious threat to regional and global security. The statement emphasised that the situation on the Korean peninsula is approaching the brink of nuclear conflict due to perceived US military actions.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol has strengthened defence cooperation with the US, conducting joint military exercises and involving advanced stealth jets and strategic assets.
