North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a nuclear facility and called for boosting the country’s nuclear capabilities in the face of growing threats from Washington and its allies, state media reported Friday.
Kim inspected the Nuclear Weapons Institute and a production base of weapon-grade nuclear materials, the government news agency KCNA reported. Noting that nuclear threats from the United States and its allies “have become more undisguised and crossed the red line,” Kim said North Korea must “steadily expand and bolster up its defence capability… and the capability for a preemptive attack with the nuclear force as a pivot.”
Pyongyang has denied any sanctions-busting weapons trade with Russia, but with diplomacy long stalled, it declared South Korea its “principal enemy” this year and recently moved nuclear-capable weapons to border areas.
