North Korean white paper says South’s president has raised risk of nuclear war

By Josh SmithSEOUL (Reuters) -North Korean state media released a white paper on Sunday accusing South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol of exposing his country to the danger of nuclear war through his policies toward the North. “Its ever-worsening military moves resulted only in the paradoxical consequences of pushing (North Korea) to stockpile its nuclear weapons at an exponential rate and further develop its nuclear attack capability,” the paper said. His administration blames North Korea for raising tensions with weapons tests and providing military aid and troops to aid Russia’s war in Ukraine. The two Koreas are still technically at war after their 1950-53 war ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty. The two Koreas have also clashed over balloons of trash floated since May from North Korea.
