North Korea Warns US Approval for South Korean Nuclear Submarine Is ‘Dangerous Development’

North Korea has condemned US approval for South Korea to build its first nuclear-powered submarine, warning that the move would worsen instability in the Asia-Pacific region.

In a statement, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry described the approval as a “dangerous development” with implications for the region’s political and military situation.

The criticism focused on Washington’s support for the submarine project, which Pyongyang portrayed as a factor aggravating regional tensions.

The statement offered no details about the vessel’s construction schedule or capabilities. Its warning concerned the approval itself and what North Korea sees as its destabilizing impact.
