Conflicts

North Korea argued in an official document that South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is pushing his country toward nuclear conflict, particularly due to the policies he chooses to pursue with North Korea.

The document, issued by North Korea’s Institute for Studies of Enemy States, criticizes what it calls "reckless remarks" about war and claims these policies jeopardize agreements between the two nations on the Korean peninsula.

"Its ever-worsening military moves resulted only in the paradoxical consequences of pushing (North Korea) to stockpile its nuclear weapons at an exponential rate and further develop its nuclear attack capability," the paper mentioned.

In recent weeks, Seoul has taken a firm stance toward Pyongyang, especially since North Korea sent thousands of soldiers to support Russia in its war against Ukraine.

Last month, the North Korean government amended its constitution to designate South Korea as its "primary enemy." Pyongyang also symbolically dismantled the last remaining roads and rail connections between the two neighboring nations.

Although the Korean War ended in 1953 with an armistice, the two countries have never signed a peace treaty.
