Seoul, South Korea CNN — North Korea will face “a determined and overwhelming response” from South Korea and the United States if it attempts to use nuclear weapons, South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol said Saturday. “[North Korea’s] development of nuclear weapons will make the lives of North Koreans more difficult. “(The South Korean government) will enhance its reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities and strike capabilities against North Korea,” Yoon added. Earlier Saturday, the South Korean military detected two short-range ballistic missiles launched from North Korea’s Sunan area in Pyongyang, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement. South Korea held an emergency National Security Council (NSC) meeting shortly after North Korea’s launch.
