SEOUL: (APP) US military action against nuclear-armed Pyongyang was an "option on the table", Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Friday after visiting the Demilitarised Zone that divides the two Koreas.
"Certainly we do not want to, for things to get to military conflict," he told reporters, but added: "If they elevate the threat of their weapons programme to a level that we believe requires action, then, that option's on the table."
