Mr. Un made the comments at a meeting of the Central Military Commission, which discussed plans for countermeasures to deter North Korea’s enemies. During the meeting, he stressed that the military must acquire “more powerful strike means” to bolster his nuclear deterrent and make speedier deployments of those weapons to combat units, Associated Press reported.
He called for the country’s munitions industry to step up mass production of various weapons and systems, and for the military to actively conduct “actual war drills” to digest those systems and enhance its war-fighting capabilities, Associated Press quoted KCNA as saying. Last week, the North Korean leader accelerated his weapons demonstrations, which have included the testing firings of more than 100 missiles since the start of 2022, driving tensions on the Korean Peninsula to their highest point in years.
