DPRK leader Kim Jong Un announced plans to strengthen military preparedness during a high-profile visit to the Ministry of National Defense, state media reported Sunday. The move comes amid growing concerns about security dynamics in Northeast Asia. 🛡️
Regional Stability at Stake
Kim specifically called out U.S. military exercises, nuclear deployments, and trilateral cooperation with South Korea and Japan as factors disrupting regional balance. \"These actions risk transforming Northeast Asia into a powder keg,\" the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) quoted him as saying.
Nuclear Policy Doubles Down
The Workers' Party leader reaffirmed plans to accelerate nuclear weapons development while claiming the DPRK seeks to \"prevent new wars through deterrence.\" The announcement follows recent joint military drills by U.S. and South Korean forces. 💥
Global Alignment Signals
In a notable aside, Kim expressed support for Russia’s military actions, citing the DPRK-Russia strategic partnership treaty. This comes as Western nations continue military support for Ukraine. 🌐
