North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to enhance his nuclear arsenal in “practical and offensive” ways, state media says.
SEOUL, South Korea --
Kim reviewed the country’s frontline attack plans and various combat documents and stressed the need to bolster his nuclear deterrent with “increasing speed on a more practical and offensive” manner, KCNA said. The United States and South Korea have described their exercises as defensive in nature and said that the expansion of those drills are necessary to cope with the North’s evolving threats.
South Korean Unification Minister Kwon Youngse, Seoul’s point man on the North, in a news conference expressed “strong regret” over North Korea’s “unilateral and irresponsible attitude “over the communication lines and also warned of unspecified legal action over its use of the Kaesong assets. The North was already coming off a record year in weapons testing, after launching nearly 70 missiles in 2022.
