💣 Tensions Rise as DPRK Leader Issues Stark Warning
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has vowed to deploy 'all offensive forces, including nuclear weapons,' if its sovereignty is threatened, escalating regional tensions. The announcement came during leader Kim Jong Un’s inspection of a training base for special operation forces this week, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
🚨 A Clash of Rhetoric
Kim’s remarks follow a military parade in the Republic of Korea (ROK) where President Yoon Suk Yeol warned of 'the end of the DPRK regime' if nuclear weapons were used. Kim dismissed such threats, stating the DPRK’s nuclear capabilities are 'irreversibly secured' and that Seoul’s survival would be 'impossible' in a conflict. 'Praying for good luck in surviving a nuclear conflict is foolish,' he added.
⚔️ Military Readiness in Focus
Kim emphasized the need to strengthen the DPRK’s military, calling special operation forces 'core' to war deterrence. Analysts say the rhetoric highlights rising friction on the Korean Peninsula, with global observers urging caution. The situation remains a high-stakes geopolitical flashpoint. 🌏 (Source: Xinhua)
