North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has issued a stark nuclear warning, vowing to bolster the country’s deterrence measures, including its nuclear capabilities. In a speech marking the 77th anniversary of North Korea’s armed forces, Kim accused the United States of escalating global tensions and fueling regional conflicts, increasing the risk of a new world war.
Kim’s remarks come amid reports that North Korea has sent thousands of soldiers to support Russia in the Ukraine war, aligning with his anti-American stance. He criticized Washington for providing significant military and economic aid to Ukraine, claiming it exacerbates global instability.
The North Korean leader emphasized the need for “unlimited defense capability,” calling it the “fairest” approach to counter perceived threats. His warning underscores Pyongyang’s commitment to expanding its nuclear arsenal, raising concerns over regional and global security.
As tensions rise, the international community watches closely, with fears of further escalation in an already volatile geopolitical landscape. Kim’s latest threats highlight the growing challenges in addressing North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and its deepening alliances with other adversarial nations.
