North Korea condemns U.S. operation as "serious encroachment of sovereignty"

North Korea condemned the U.S. operation to capture Maduro as a "serious encroachment of sovereignty," accusing it of hegemony-seeking in Venezuela. The foreign ministry stated the incident highlights the U.S.'s "rogue and brutal nature." The raid is viewed as a nightmare for North Korea, which sees it as part of Washington's efforts to remove its regime, justifying its nuclear programs as deterrents. North Korea has also historically supported Maduro's socialist government.
