A North Korean mouthpiece in Japan on Monday issued a thinly veiled threat of another nuclear test by the North, which is peeved by a massive South Korea-U.S. naval exercise in the East Sea.
The Choson Sinbo newspaper said the North "regards a nuclear test as an essential procedural requirement to gain a nuclear deterrent. In the past, it has not hesitated to conduct a test if it decided it needed one."
South Korea and the United States plan to conduct live-fire anti-submarine exercises in the East Sea Tuesday during the third day of joint military drills meant to deter North Korea against future provocations, military officials said.
The allies plan to fire naval guns and artillery at an abandoned submarine disguised as a North Korean submarine, military officials said.
Im kinda wundern about that,.
