Think Tank Says North Korea Could Use Nuclear Weapons Under Certain Situations

"By far most likely pathway is for Kim to leverage his nuclear capability for coercion, potentially including non-nuclear lethal attacks, aimed at advancing the North’s goals".

WASHINGTON - A report written by the think tank "Atlantic Council" director of Security said that under certain situations, North Korea could use nuclear weapons and that the United States should be aware of the possibility of South Korea obtaining its own nuclear weapons. 

The report cites the National Intelligence Council (NIC) Estimate on North Korea that was completed in January of 2023, and released in June.
