Pyongyang has blamed the White House for escalating tensions in the region, referring specifically to the visit of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Seoul this week, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
In the statement, North Korea reaffirmed its commitment to robustly control and manage all perceived threats to
its national security. The statement emphasized the use of more aggressive and
overwhelming countermeasures, including
visible strategic military deterrence.
"The armed forces of the DPRK will strongly control and manage all threats to its national security and interests with more offensive and overwhelming counteraction capabilities and through visible strategic deterrent military actions," the statement said.
During Austin's visit, South Korea and the United States revised a
bilateral security agreement aimed at countering the DPRK's advancing nuclear and missile capabilities. South Korea's Defense Ministry underscored the need for the revision, citing inadequacies in addressing rapid advances in North Korea's missile and nuclear programs.
Pyongyang claims that the
