North Korea nuclear program

Following Pyongyang’s specification of its conditions for nuclear use, Seoul said the North will self-destruct if it uses nuclear weapons.  

A day before the 74th anniversary of the country’s founding, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to keep strengthening his nuclear power.

The national security advisors from the three countries met in Honolulu this week to discuss a coordinated response to the growing North Korean threat.

Tactical nuclear weapons represent the next, dangerous phase of North Korea’s nuclear modernization.

Even as its nuclear capacity continues to advance, Pyongyang will keep its anti-nuclear doctrine in place – despite the growing contradiction.

Kim Jong Un discussed major agendas of his country’s military with his officials, raising speculation that a seventh nuclear test is imminent.

A mutually assured deterrence could be an alternative diplomatic strategy toward Pyongyang.

After a meeting with his U.S. counterpart, South Korea's foreign minister emphasized strengthening the joint extended deterrence against North Korea’s missile threats. 

“North Korea is not sending signals it is open to diplomacy, but waiting for it to do so is a serious mistake.”

North Korea held a military parade to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army on Monday.

Kim Il Sung’s birth anniversary, the most important national holiday in North Korea, passed without the expected military parade or any missile testing.
