North Korean Defense Minister No Kwang-chol said on Nov. 8 that North Korea will “show more offensive action” against its enemies, condemning the arrival of a U.S. aircraft carrier in South Korea and recent security talks between Washington and Seoul.
Kwang-chol’s comments came a day after North Korea fired a ballistic missile toward its eastern waters, according to South Korea and Japan.
