The DPRK has criticized Germany's recent participation in the US-led UN Command, asserting that it will exacerbate the crisis on the Korean peninsula and the broader region.

This comes after German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced on Friday Germany's role in patrolling South Korea's borders during an entry ceremony at the main US military base in South Korea.

"Germany's entry into the UN Command will inevitably aggravate the military and political situation on the Korean peninsula and the rest of the region," the ministry said in a statement shared by state news agency KCNA.

"Germany will be held wholly responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom," the DPRK statement added.

The UN Command (UNC) was established on July 7, 1950, in response to the outbreak of the Korean War.

The UNC was responsible for coordinating the military efforts of UN member states that came to the aid of South Korea, thus serving as a vehicle for US aggression under the guise of a UN mission.

Twenty-two countries contributed either combat forces or medical units to support South Korea during the war, with the US providing the majority of the military personnel and resources.
