1 May. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The North Korean authorities have criticized on Monday the recent agreement between South Korea and the United States, for which the latter would reinforce the deployment of strategic assets in the region, alleging that the latter “invents a legal justification” to deploy tactical nuclear forces on a regular basis. on Korean soil.

Pyongyang recalled that “the farce of the deployment of strategic nuclear assets” by the United States “has been one of the main malignant sources of ever-increasing tensions on the Korean peninsula.”

“This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the regional situation escalates explosively every time nuclear-capable strategic bombers buzz in the skies over the Korean peninsula and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines make their unwanted appearances in the surrounding waters.” , reads a statement from the KCNA agency.

Thus, North Korea has criticized the fact that Washington has deployed different nuclear forces since the beginning of the year in the direction of Pyongyang, “which makes the military and political situation continue to drown in the quagmire of instability.”

“Too obvious is the intention that the US seeks by encouraging its puppet to paint its reckless deployment of nuclear assets as a ‘legal’ confrontation,” he said before adding that the US authorities “only” have the objective “to evade responsibility for the worst crimes related to nuclear energy”.

Since the allies agreed on this measure, North Korea has warned that it will increase its “military deterrence” in response to the “inhuman hostile policy of the United States” and has stressed that it represents a new threat.
