North Korea has strongly condemned the United States' capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, labeling it a "serious encroachment of sovereignty" and a "rogue and brutal act." Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry denounced the U.S. hegemony-seeking act, asserting it violates the UN Charter and international laws. The capture, following U.S. military strikes, led to Maduro and his wife facing charges in New York. This event is seen as a nightmare scenario for North Korea, which fears similar U.S. actions against its own leadership.
