Kim Jong Un Pushes for Accelerated Nuclear and Military Expansion
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a rapid expansion of his country's nuclear arsenal and condemned US-South Korea military exercises as provocative, amid ongoing tensions and North Korea's plans to build new destroyers and test missiles. The drills, seen by Pyongyang as hostile, are part of broader efforts to counter North Korea's nuclear development, which remains a key issue in upcoming US-South Korea discussions.
