Kim Jong Un Said To Be Reading Military Actions In Response To US Three-Nation Summit: South Korea

North Korea may respond to an imminent summit between the U.S., South Korea and Japan with military action, warned a South Korean lawmaker, Reuters reports.

Yoo Sang-bum, a member of the South Korean parliament, said that the protest from their neighbour could take the form of an intercontinental ballistic missile launch or other military measures.

The warning comes ahead of a meeting set between U.S. President Joe Biden, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at Camp David.

Additionally, North Korea may attempt to launch another spy satellite by the end of August or early September, following an unsuccessful attempt in May.

The three leaders aim to strengthen ties in response to nuclear threats from North Korea and the increasing influence of China in the region. North Korea has criticized the strengthening military cooperation as a dangerous prelude to an “Asian version of NATO”.

The U.S. has accused North Korea of supplying weapons to Russia for its conflict in Ukraine, a claim that both Pyongyang and Moscow deny.
