Fearless of North Korean nuclear response, Yoon Suk Yeol orders Firm retaliation for any provocation.
South Coreal President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday urged officials to react vigorously against any provocation by North Korea, without fear alone because the North has nuclear weapons, a senior official said days later. The North sends drones to infiltrate South Korea.
Yoon delivered instructions during an unscheduled meeting with members of the presidential cabinet and the Presidential Office of Homeland Security (NSO) after canceling a working lunch, according to the head of Presidential Press, Kim Eunhye.
"President Yoon told them to punish unequivocally and react in response to any provocation by North Korea, saying it is the way stronger to discourage provocation," he told a conference of press.
