South Korea’s Defense Ministry warned Tuesday that any provocation by North Korea would be met with "overwhelming" retaliation in response to the North's threats regarding the arrival of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in Busan.

The San Diego-based aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson has pulled into Busan, South Korea, at what is roughly the midway point of its latest deployment.

USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) pulled in to Busan Naval Base, South Korea on Sunday for a scheduled port visit, marking the first visit of a U.S. carrier to a foreign port during the second Trump administration.
