North Korea may be considering a nuclear test near the time the US presidential election is held to raise its profile, South Korea’s defense minister said, as Kim Jong Un rolls out new warheads capable of striking the US and its allies in Asia.
Seoul will reach a deal with Japan and the US to standardize the tracking of missiles fired from North Korea, Shin Wonsik said in an interview Sunday in Tokyo. He was visiting the Japanese capital to sign a deal with the US and Japan to lock in gains in security cooperation that have included joint military training.
