South Korea has deployed a new homegrown bunker buster missile, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Tuesday, in its efforts to deter North Korean military threats.

It’s bad enough that North Korea, an implacable enemy of the United States, has the nuclear bomb. To make matters worse, it has ICBMs that can reach the American mainland.

North Korea criticized the United States for pursuing the "absurd and outdated" goal of denuclearization Tuesday, saying that Pyongyang would stick to leader Kim Jong Un's goal of building up its nuclear forces.
