'No-one barters destiny for corn cake': North Korea rejects South Korean aid offer
Ms Kim said Mr Yoon displayed the "height of absurdity" with his offer, saying it was as realistic as creating "mulberry fields in the dark blue ocean".
He said his government had no plans to pursue its own nuclear deterrent and doesn't desire political change in Pyongyang that's brought by force. Mr Yoon spoke hours after South Korea's military detected North Korea firing two suspected cruise missiles toward the sea and identified the western coastal site of Onchon as the launch location.
The latest launches extended a record pace in North Korean missile testing in 2022, which has involved more than 30 ballistic launches, including the country's first demonstrations of intercontinental ballistic missiles in nearly five years.
