The spokesman also criticized a statement by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in Seoul this week that US strategic weapons systems such as fighter jets or aircraft carriers would be sent back to the peninsula. North Korea will show a “strong response” according to the policy of “nuclear weapons against nuclear weapons and total conflict against total conflict”.

The conflict has intensified since last year
