South Korea warned that North Korea will face the end of its regime if it attempts to use nuclear weapons. “We sternly warn that there is no scenario in which North Korea’s regime will survive after using nuclear weapons,” Seoul’s defense ministry stated. The statement was released in response to a warning issued by the North Korean defence ministry a day before. On July 13, North Korea’s defence ministry criticised the nuclear deterrence guidelines signed by South Korea and the United States. North Korea said that it would be incomprehensible for anyone to imagine the price that will be paid.
