North Korea Warns Over South Korea Submarine Plans
North Korea criticized South Korea on Wednesday. South Korea is building a nuclear-powered submarine.
North Korea called the project a step toward nuclear weapons. North Korea also vowed to build strong retaliation capability. This response would target South Korea's submarine project.
Klear Note — Nuclear-powered submarines use reactors for movement, but need not carry nuclear weapons. Nuclear armament means developing or obtaining nuclear weapons. Retaliatory capability means forces able to strike back after an attack.
