North Korea's Kim Threatens 'Nuclear Attack' Amid Missile Tests and Joint Drills

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned that Pyongyang would not hesitate to launch a nuclear attack if provoked with nuclear weapons, following the recent intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test. Kim praised the military's loyalty and strong stand, stating that the test demonstrated the evolution of North Korea's nuclear strategy and doctrine. The United States, South Korea, and Japan condemned the missile launches and called for substantive dialogue without preconditions.
