N. Korean regime will "vanish from earth" if it uses nukes: S. Korea

South Korea on Friday dismissed North Korea's warning of a preemptive nuclear strike against it, warning that doing such a thing would doom its regime.

"I'm telling you this as a member of the human race, if North Korea attacks South Korea with nuclear weapons, Kim Jong Un's regime will vanish from earth by the will of humanity," defense ministry spokesman Kim Min Seok said in a briefing.

While such weapons were used to end World War II, if they were used to attack a free and democratic society like South Korea, "mankind would not forgive it," he said.
