North Korea said on Monday that it had the right to expand its nuclear deterrent and had developed nuclear arms in a transparent manner, its official media reported.
Although its stance on nuclear weapons was not new, the statement issued by the North's KCNA news agency came just hours after South Korea announced measures to punish Pyongyang for sinking one of its naval ships in March.
