North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said a plan by South Korea to develop nuclear-powered submarines with the US is a threat to stability in the region, calling it an “offensive act,” state news agency KCNA reported on Thursday.

Kim made the remarks during his inspection of an under-construction 8,700-ton nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine.

He said Seoul’s plan to build nuclear-powered submarines “will worsen the instability in the region of the Korean Peninsula” and stressed that Pyongyang regards it “as an offensive act severely violating its security and maritime sovereignty and a threat to its security that must be countered.”
