STORYLINE:
South Korea unveiled its most powerful ballistic missile and other weapons during a massive Armed Forces Day ceremony Tuesday, as the president warned North Korea’s regime would collapse if it attempts to use nuclear weapons.
South Korea’s weapons displays and warning against North Korea came after its northern rival recently rose regional tension by disclosing its uranium-enrichment facility and tested missiles ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November.
"If North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, it will face the resolute and overwhelming response of our military and the (South Korea)-U.S. alliance," South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol told thousands of troops gathered at a military airport near Seoul. "That day will be the end of the North Korean regime.”
During the ceremony, the South Korean military displayed about 340 military equipment and weapons systems. Among them was its most powerful Hyunmoo-5 ballistic missile, which observers say is capable of carrying about 8 tons of a conventional warhead that can penetrate deep into the earth and destroy underground bunkers in North Korea. It was the first time South Korea disclosed that missile.
