(UPDATED) SEOUL: South Korea on Tuesday warned North Korea that using its nuclear weapons would put it on a 'path of self-destruction,' in unusually harsh language that came days after Pyongyang passed a new law that would allow it to use its nuclear weapons preemptively.

North Korea is likely to be infuriated by the South Korean rhetoric, as Seoul typically shuns such strong words to avoid raising tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
