North Korea Threatens Retaliation Over U.S. Aircraft Carrier Deployment

Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, warns of escalating nuclear actions in response to the USS Carl Vinson's arrival in South Korea.

The USS Carl Vinson, a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, docked in Busan, South Korea, as a show of strength and support for the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
Kim Yo Jong, a senior North Korean official and sister of Kim Jong Un, condemned the deployment as a 'hostile and confrontational' act by the U.S.
North Korea has indicated plans to bolster its nuclear arsenal and escalate military provocations in response to what it calls 'U.S. confrontation hysteria.'
South Korean officials dismissed North Korea's statements as justification for its continued nuclear weapons development, reaffirming their readiness to respond to any provocations.
The carrier's deployment follows recent North Korean missile tests and precedes joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises scheduled for later this month.
