N Korea slams US move to deploy nuclear submarines to peninsula

Al Jazeera  

Pyongyang also accused US spy planes of violating its airspace and warns such aircraft may be shot down. North Korea has condemned a United States plan to deploy a nuclear missile submarine to waters near the Korean peninsula, warning the move could incite a devastating atomic conflict. In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency on Monday, a spokesperson for the North Korean defence ministry said Washington’s plan – agreed to by the leaders of the US and South Korea during an April summit – would introduce US strategic nuclear weapons to the Korean peninsula for the first time since 1981. A US nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine arrived at the port of Busan in South Korea last month, while in June, a US B-52 strategic bomber took part in air military drills with South Korea in a show of force following North Korea’s failed launch of a spy satellite. Yoon said South Korea will stress at the NATO meeting the importance of international cooperation against “North Korea’s illegal acts”.
