"Kim Jong Un Escalates Tensions with War Prep and Plans for New Satellites and Nukes"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered his military to prepare for war, citing the possibility of conflict "breaking out at any time" on the Korean peninsula. During a year-end meeting, Kim announced plans to enhance military capabilities, including the development of spy satellites, drones, and electronic warfare, while also strengthening nuclear and missile forces. He criticized the United States for military threats and declared that North Korea would no longer seek reconciliation with South Korea, blaming the "uncontrollable crisis situation" on Seoul and Washington's actions. The UN has called for North Korea to halt its nuclear and missile programs, but Pyongyang insists on maintaining its nuclear arsenal for national security.
