North Korea threatens 'offensive action', condemns US-South Korea security talks

North Korea condemned the US-South Korea security talks and a US aircraft carrier's arrival, vowing stronger offensive actions after recent missile tests and new US sanctions.

  • On Saturday , North Korean Defence Minister No Kwang-chol warned of more 'offensive action' after condemning this week's Security Consultative Meeting in Seoul and the USS George Washington visit as 'intentional' hostility.
  • On Friday , a suspected short-range ballistic missile flew about 700 kilometers into the Sea of Japan, following U.S. sanctions targeting eight North Korean nationals and two entities.
  • Publishing the remarks in KCNA, North Korea's Defence Minister No Kwang-chol warned `all threats encroaching upon the sphere of the North's security` will become `direct targets` and stated `We are ready to respond to everything`.
  • The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said Friday the launch does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or allies, while South Korea's defence ministry called North Korea's criticism 'regrettable'.
  • U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Ahn Gyu-back visited the DMZ and held the Security Consultative Meeting in Seoul earlier this week, while President Trump reiterated willingness to meet Kim Jong Un amid Pyongyang's unresponsiveness and potential seventh nuclear test, South Korean lawmakers said.
