The North Korean dictator said such a boost was necessary to counter “various threats from the United States and its supporters.”
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un said the DPRK would build up its nuclear capabilities to “ensure security” and be ready to counter “any threat,” particularly from the United States and its allies. Reuters reported this on Tuesday, September 10, citing North Korea’s state agency KNCA.
According to the agency, in a speech on the occasion of the anniversary of the founding of North Korea, Kim Jong-un said that his country is now implementing a policy of building up nuclear forces to increase the number of nuclear weapons ” exponentially.”
Kim said North Korea should more fully prepare its “nuclear capabilities and be ready to use them properly at any time to ensure the state’s security rights.”
Let’s remember that the alliance between South Korea and the United States has been upgraded to the nuclear level, capable of containing any nuclear threats from North Korea.
On July 1, North Korea said it had successfully tested a new tactical ballistic missile called the Hwasongpho-11 Da-4.5, which is capable of carrying an ultra-large warhead.
