At today's Armed Forces Day ceremony, President Yoon Suk Yeol mentioned the South Korea-U.S. alliance and security cooperation among South Korea, the U.S. and Japan, warning that if North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, it will be the day of the end of the regime.

In the meantime, Hyunmoo-5, a key tool in the three-axis system against North Korea's nuclear weapons and the world's highest warhead weight, first appeared, drawing great attention.

The 8-ton warhead Hyeonmu-5, which destroys even a 100-meter-deep underground bunker, will make its first appearance at the Armed Forces Day ceremony.

The "Monster Missile," the world's highest warhead weight, appeared on a mobile launcher with 18 wheels on the left and right amid a split of South Korean-style three-axis system equipment to respond to North Korea's nuclear weapons.

Above Seoul Airport, a U.S. strategic bomber, B-1B 'Lancer', which North Korea has been sensitive to, flew under the escort of an F-15K fighter.

In his 76th anniversary speech on Armed Forces Day, President Yoon Suk Yeol issued a stern warning to North Korea for its efforts to advance its nuclear weapons.

If North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, it will face an overwhelming response, reiterating that it will be free from the delusion that nuclear weapons protect the regime.

[Yoon Suk Yeol] If North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, it will face a decisive and overwhelming response from our military and the South Korea-U.S. alliance. It will be the day of the end of the North Korean regime.]

In particular, he mentioned the Korea-U.S. alliance and Korea-U.S.-Japan cooperation, saying that fake peace based on good faith is nothing more than a mirage and that building strength is the only way to protect peace.

President Yoon, who went on a street march with the people, promised to do his best to support treatment, saying he knows the sweat and dedication of soldiers better than anyone else.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President: As the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, I trust the soldiers of the Armed Forces indefinitely and will support the people as much as I can.]

At the same time, he asked for generous support for the military, saying that strong security is being made with the people.
