South Korea today issued a stark warning to Pyongyang, saying that any attempt to actually carry out its ¡°preemptive nuclear strike¡± threat will lead directly to its own destruction.

A Ministry of National Defense spokesperson, Kim Min Seok made the comments in a regular briefing, explaining, ¡°If North Korea attacks South Korea with nuclear weapons then by the will of South Korea and all humanity the Kim Jong Eun regime will perish from this earth.¡±

¡°Nuclear weapons have been used twice in order to end a world war, but if they were to attack South Korea with a nuclear weapon now then humanity would not forgive them,¡± he added.

However, he did then go on to add that this is not a likely outcome, noting, ¡°[North Korea¡¯s remarks about a pre-emptive strike] are one type of threat and intimidation against South Korea.¡±

Kim also commented on Kim Jong Eun¡¯s recent visit to the unit responsible for the Yeonpyeong Island shelling in 2010, a visit that was reported today in the North Korean domestic media. Saying that the story is designed to display Kim¡¯s willingness to attack South Korea, he reiterated, ¡°If North Korea provokes us again we will punish them mercilessly.¡±
