Statement of the South Korean Ministry

North Korea established a comprehensive nuclear law in 2022. They confirmed its status as a nuclear-armed state with no plans to reverse it.

Ankit Panda from the US-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said that the latest submarine visit fits with the criteria. The law permits various scenarios in which nuclear use may be possible.

However, Panda believes that they are trying to convince Washington. Not to schedule any more assurance performances of this kind for South Koreans.
