\u201cIn case North Korea undertakes provocations against us or our ally, we have the power to destroy (the North) beyond recovery<\/strong>,\u201d the South Korean leader said on Friday according to Yonhap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seoul immediately convened a National Security Council meeting following the latest launch by North Korea, in which Moon condemned the missile test, saying the North had once again breached United Nations Security Council resolutions and \u201cposes a grave challenge to the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and the global community,\u201d according to RT\u2019s Ruptly news agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sternly condemn and express anger at this series of provocations by the North,\u201d Moon was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

The South Korean president also said that dialogue between the South and the North is currently impossible and called for greater pressure on the North. \u201cDialogue is impossible in a situation like this,\u201d Moon said.<\/p>\n

South Korea also should be prepared to new types of threats from the North, including biological ones and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons, <\/strong>Yonhap reports citing presidential spokesman Park Soo-hyun. Even as Seoul still wants to wants use diplomatic means to solve the crisis on the Korean Peninsula and put an end to Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programs, it has been pushing for cooperation with the US in the defense sphere.
