00:00 It could be North Korea's most grave warning yet.
00:03 The country says the presence of the American nuclear submarine USS Kentucky could be grounds
00:08 for nuclear war.
00:09 North Korea's defense minister said the nuclear ballistic missile submarine, which was docked
00:14 in South Korea for three days as a show of force, could fall under the conditions set
00:18 by Pyongyang to launch a preemptive nuclear strike.
00:22 According to Website Insider, this is the first time a nuclear-armed sub has been docked
00:26 in South Korea in over 40 years.
00:28 In response, the North fired two short-range ballistic missiles.
00:31 South Korea's president took a tour of the sub armed with up to 20 nuclear-tipped ballistic
00:36 missiles, saying any nuclear provocation by Pyongyang would spell the end of its regime.
00:42 North Korea fired back, saying that any attack on the North would be their most miserable
00:46 choice by which they would have no room to think about their existence again.
00:50 But amid all the bluster, the country remained silent on the state of the U.S. soldier who
00:55 made an unauthorized crossing into North Korea and hasn't been seen since.
