flag North Korea demands Japan curb nuclear ambitions after reports of Japanese official’s remarks, calling it a threat to stability.

flag North Korea has demanded Japan's nuclear ambitions be "thoroughly curbed," reacting to reports that a senior Japanese official suggested Japan consider acquiring nuclear weapons. flag The comments, made during a private briefing, sparked concern in Pyongyang, which labeled the idea a dangerous threat to regional stability and a hypocrisy given Japan's global disarmament stance. flag The statement follows U.S. approval of South Korea's nuclear submarine project, which North Korea views as a catalyst for regional arms escalation. flag Japan has not confirmed any policy shift, maintaining its longstanding three non-nuclear principles. flag Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned North Korea’s latest missile and nuclear tests as destabilizing and a violation of international law, urging diplomacy and de-escalation.
