North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said on Wednesday that Pyongyang would not hesitate to launch a nuclear attack if provoked by the enemy with nuclear weapons, the North Korean news agency (KCNA) reported.

He argued that a country’s sovereign rights are secured only through strong deterrence, and that real defensive power derives from the ability to strike a pre-emptive strike against any enemy.
For her part, Kim Yo Jong, the North Korean leader’s sister, criticized the UN Security Council for its meeting on the ICBM launch, arguing that it was an exercise of North Korea’s right to self-defense. The UN Security Council should condemn the “irresponsible behavior” of the US and South Korea which have “escalated the tension on the Korean peninsula with all kinds of military provocations throughout the year,” he argued.
