"Kim Jong Un Announces Plans for Nuclear Expansion and Satellite Launches Amid War Readiness"

The announcement includes an emphasis on improving submarine capabilities and unmanned combat equipment, while also maintaining a strong stance against South Korea, which Kim has dismissed as a partner for reconciliation or unification.
