S. Korean media sound alarm over ‘nuclear maniac’

SEOUL, (APP/AFP) – South Korean newspapers
sounded the alarm Saturday over what one termed the “nuclear maniac” Kim Jong-Un, saying the North Korean leader’s fifth and biggest nuclear test is a game-changer demanding a tougher response.
One newspaper urged Seoul to persuade its ally Washington to redeploy
tactical nuclear weapons withdrawn from South Korea in the early 1990s.
The banner headline of the top-selling Chosun Ilbo read “South Korea left unguarded before nuclear maniac”.
