Kim Jong-un said North Korea must strengthen its defense capabilities by 2023, given the difficult political situation on the Korean Peninsula.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has instructed the government to develop a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and mass-produce tactical nuclear weapons. This was reported on Sunday, January 1 by Reuters in relation to TsTAK.
The North Korean leader pointed to the need to build up the republic’s nuclear arsenal and provide “military power” to protect sovereignty and security.
“Kim Jong-un has set the task of developing another intercontinental ballistic missile system with rapid nuclear countermeasure capability as the primary mission,” the publication said.
In addition, according to the agency, he announced that Pyongyang will launch a military satellite soon.
Kim Jong-un also said that projectiles from North Korea’s new launchers are capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons. He emphasized that the entire territory of South Korea is within reach.
Remember, on December 18, the DPRK launched two ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan.
