The US side is in constant contact with South Korea to learn more details and context on this issue.
Washington has yet to confirm North Korea’s statement about testing its latest underwater drones, which are said to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons. About this on briefing on Friday, January 19, said White House National Security Council coordinator John Kirby.
“I cannot confirm North Korea’s claims that they have actually tested such weapons. However, it highlights the ongoing provocations of Kim Jong-in and his regime in Pyongyang,” he said.
Kirby noted that the American side is in constant contact with South Korea to learn more details and context on this issue.
At the same time, he said, regardless of whether it is true or not, “there is no doubt that they (North Korea – ed.) continue to use advanced military capabilities to threaten their neighbors, to threaten the region. “
We remind you that the DPRK announced the day before that in response to the latest joint naval exercises with South Korea, the United States and Japan, they tested the underwater nuclear weapons system currently under development.
Also recently, the DPRK announced tests of a missile with a hypersonic warhead.
