North Korean leader Kim Jong Un threatened to use nuclear weapons to destroy South Korea if attacked, state media reported Friday, after South Korea’s president warned that if the North used nuclear weapons it would “face the end of its regime.

Kim’s comments came after what he perceived as a threat by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during a military parade showcasing South Korea's military.

His comments came after the South Korean President warned that we "will see the end of the North Korean regime" if Pyongyang fires nuclear weapons.
