Pre-emptive strikes against North Korea's nuclear and missile facilities are an option if there are signs of an imminent nuclear strike by Pyongyang, South Korea's military said Monday.
Defense Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun made the remarks during a press briefing when he was asked about how Seoul planned to cope with the North's evolving nuclear and missile treats, as well as growing calls for such a move in the United States.
The official's remarks are not new since South Korea has said it will consider all available options to safeguard the lives of its citizens, which could include hitting the North first at a sign of serious trouble.
