North Korea Condemns US Approval for South Korean Nuclear Submarine

North Korea has condemned US approval for South Korea to build its first nuclear-powered submarine, calling the move a “dangerous development.”

In a statement, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said the decision would worsen political and military instability in the Asia-Pacific region.

The criticism focused on Washington’s backing for the South Korean project, which Pyongyang portrayed as a threat to regional stability.

The statement provided no details on the submarine’s construction schedule or capabilities. Its warning centred on the broader security implications of the US decision.
