US to Deploy Strategic Assets to Region If DPRK Conducts Nuclear Test: Pentagon
13:07 GMT 17.08.2022 (Updated: 18:08 GMT 08.12.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States and South Korea agreed to deploy US strategic assets to the region if North Korea conducts a nuclear test, the two nations said in a joint statement for their 21st integrated defense dialogue.
"Both sides shared their assessments of activities at the DPRK’s Punggye-ri nuclear testing site. The two sides affirmed that, should the DPRK conduct a nuclear test, the ROK and the U.S. will engage in a strong and firm bilateral response, to include options to deploy U.S. strategic assets to the region," the statement said.
On Wednesday, North Korea launched two cruise missiles toward the Yellow Sea, the South Korean military said.
The 21st South Korea-US Integrated Defense Dialogue was held in Seoul on August 16-17. The delegations were led by US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia, Siddharth Mohandas, and South Korean Deputy Minister for National Defense Policy, Heo Tae-keun.
The United States and South Korea will expand the scope and scale of joint military drills in response to recent missile tests conducted by
North Korea, and will start with the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise next week, according to a joint statement.
"The leaders discussed the DPRK threat, particularly the increased volume and scale of DPRK missile tests over the course of the last year. With this in mind, and considering the evolving threat posed by the DPRK, both leaders committed to expanding the scope and scale of combined military exercises and training on and around the Korean Peninsula—starting with Ulchi Freedom Shield next week—to bolster combined readiness," the joint statement said.
On August 16-17, the two countries held their 21st integrated defense dialogue in Seoul. The delegations were led by US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia, Siddharth Mohandas, and South Korean Deputy Minister for National Defense Policy, Heo Tae-keun.
