North Korea Condemns US Submarine Docking in South Korea as 'Hostile Act'
North Korea's Defence Ministry stated that the United States is posing a grave security threat by sending a nuclear submarine to a South Korean port, according to the KCNA news agency.
The US fast attack submarine Alexandria arrived in Busan for supplies and crew rest, as reported by South Korean media.
An unnamed spokesperson for North Korea's Defence Ministry called the submarine's presence a "clear expression of the US's invariable hysteria for confrontation" against North Korea.
North Korea warned of "undesirable consequences" in response to US military exercises and stated it would "unhesitatingly exercise the legitimate right to punish the provokers.
North Korea accused the United States on Tuesday of having committed a "hostile military act" following the arrival of a U.S. Navy submarine in South Korea to resupply.
