The United States is building 'Golden Dome', which aims to counter "next-generation" air threats to the US, including ballistic and cruise missiles.
But according to foreign media, North Korea has criticized the US plan for a futuristic "Golden Dome" missile shield, saying it could "turn space into a potential nuclear warhead."
The defense system, which President Donald Trump plans to unveil by the end of his term, aims to counter "next-generation" air threats to the US, including ballistic and cruise missiles.
Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry criticized the plan as "the height of self-righteousness and arrogance," state media reported.
She accused Washington of being "determined to militarize outer space" and warned that the plan could trigger "a global nuclear and space arms race."
North Korea considers Washington an enemy and has repeatedly condemned joint military exercises between the US and South Korea, writes A2 CNN.
Pyongyang probably sees the Golden Dome as a threat that could "significantly weaken" its nuclear arsenal, Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP news agency.
"If the US completes its new missile defense program, the North will be forced to develop alternative means to counter or penetrate it," he further said, writes A2 CNN.
In 2022, the North passed a law declaring itself a nuclear-armed state and has tested a number of ballistic and cruise missiles in recent years. (A2 Televizion)
