Securing military capabilities against N. Korea an “urgent task”: Moon

Statement comes as DPRK military threatens to turn Seoul into "sea of fire"

President Moon Jae-in said on Wednesday that enhancing military capabilities to counter North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile threats is the South Korean military's “urgent task."
