"Kim Jong Un Inspects Naval Shipyard, Calls for War Preparations Amid Rising Tensions"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for "war preparations" during his first-ever inspection of a naval shipyard in Nampho, as the country conducted weapons tests by firing cruise missiles into the sea. Kim aims to build a nuclear-armed navy to counter perceived threats from South Korea, the U.S., and Japan, with warships being constructed as part of a five-year military development plan. The comments were made before North Korea's military launched several projectiles into its western sea, marking the fourth round of cruise missile tests in 2024.

Russia Adapts Battle Tactics in Response to Ukraine's Counteroffensive

Russia spent at least seven months preparing for Ukraine's counteroffensive by readying reserves, artillery and aviation support, stockpiling ammunition and fuel, and procuring more drones. Russian forces also burrowed into the territory they occupy in southeast Ukraine, digging lines of trenches and erecting fortifications along the entire 900-mile-long front line. The massive network of defenses has weaknesses, but it is already slowing offensive operations and creating bottlenecks for the Ukrainian army, forcing it to try to break through on narrow paths, which allows Russia to regroup and aim more precisely.

Chinese General Urges Unconventional Warfare Capabilities Amid Ukraine Tensions.

General Wang Haijiang, commander of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Western Theatre Command, has called for greater integration of unconventional capabilities, including artificial intelligence, with conventional warfare tactics in preparation for any confrontation with the West. China's military preparations are closely watched not just by the West, but also by China's neighbours and Taiwan, which China claims as its own. The PLA's combat-readiness in a hypothetical war has become a focus in recent months as China flexes its military muscle over Taiwan, putting itself in potential conflict with the United States.
