North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has called on his party to “accelerate” war preparations, including the country’s nuclear program, the official North Korean news agency reported. The news comes just a week after Pyongyang warned that it would not hesitate to launch a nuclear attack if “provoked” with nuclear weapons.
Kim called on his party to “further accelerate war preparations” in all areas, including nuclear weapons and civil defense, stressing that the “military situation” on the Korean Peninsula had become “extreme” due to the “unprecedented” conflict with Washington. . Seoul, Tokyo and Washington have stepped up defense cooperation after Pyongyang’s record number of missile tests this year and recently activated a system to share real-time data on missiles launched by North Korea.
Earlier this month, a nuclear-powered US submarine arrived in the South Korean port city of Busan, and Washington participated in exercises in Seoul and Tokyo with long-range bombers.
