Seoul, August 27 - North Korea has denounced recent US plans to supply South Korea with tactical missiles and fund human rights monitoring projects, warning of a "powerful response" to what Pyongyang sees as Washington's hostile intentions. The US Department of State confirmed the potential sale of AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II missiles and related equipment to Seoul, with an estimated total cost of $125 million.
The North Korean foreign ministry, through its spokesperson, stated that the weapons sale would adversely affect regional security and denounced Washington's funding of human rights and information programs in North Korea as threats to the country's social system. North Korea vowed to take an immediate and serious response to these hostile acts.
Despite recent overtures from US President Donald Trump, including reducing joint military exercises with South Korea, North Korea remains technically at war with its southern counterpart due to the unresolved 1950-53 conflict.
