North Korea threatens 'offensive action', condemns US-South Korea security talks
North Korean Defense Minister warns of increased offensive measures following US-South Korea drills and sanctions, citing heightened military tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
- On Nov. 8, North Korea denounced this week's South Korea–U.S. security talks and vowed more offensive action, No Kwang-chol said, stating, `We will show more offensive action against the enemies' threat.`
- Anger grew after U.S. sanctions targeting North Korean individuals and entities and recent missile tests, including a ballistic missile launch into the East Sea, prompting Pyongyang to blame joint U.S.–South Korea air drills and the USS George Washington's visit for escalating tensions.
- State media omitted coverage of the latest missile launch while the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said it did not pose an immediate threat on Saturday.
- The U.S. said it was consulting closely with allies and South Korea's defence ministry denounced the missile launch, calling the North's criticism regrettable while reaffirming deterrence.
- The broader pattern shows stalled diplomacy while North Korea has remained unresponsive to dialogue offers amid resumed missile launches in recent weeks, and Donald Trump reiterated willingness to meet Kim Jong Un.
