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 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.
