Seoul warns it would hit Pyongyang in the event of a nuclear attack

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said his country, in alliance with the United States, is prepared to respond if North Korea tries to attack it with nuclear weapons.

Yoon said South Korea can depend on US nuclear weapons to defend the country and does not need to have such weapons.

"I believe it would be irrational for them to decide to launch a nuclear attack against the Republic of Korea, and if they were to launch such an attack, the nuclear-armed alliance between the US and South Korea would immediately strike Korea. of the North with US nuclear weapons", declared Yoon, according to the American magazine, Newsweek.

North Korea showed its muscle by testing an intercontinental ballistic missile - which operates on solid fuel - called the Hwasong-19 on October 31, amid accusations from Washington and Seoul that Pyongyang has deployed troops to help Russia in its fight against Ukraine.

Yoon has taken a tougher stance than his predecessor on North Korea, which continues to develop its arsenal of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles despite United Nations Security Council resolutions banning such weapons. .

Seoul is trying to continue to improve relations with Washington, with which it has a security alliance established 70 years ago.

The two Koreas are technically at war, as the 1950-53 war ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty./REL
