North Korean state media reported that Kim Jong Un, the country’s leader, supervised tests of upgraded missile and artillery systems while warning that Pyongyang’s enemies should live in a state of “constant anxiety and fear.” According to Sputnik news agency, the tests were conducted on Thursday, coinciding with the 76th anniversary of the start of North Korea’s war against South Korea. Following the tests, Kim stated that his country will further strengthen its “offensive destructive” capabilities. The North Korean leader emphasized that the testing of firepower systems at the corps and army levels demonstrated significant technological advancements. He noted that these developments, part of the ruling party’s military policy, focus on altering the firepower dynamics along the southern border based on three principles: automation, long range, and high accuracy. Kim Jong Un also referenced the current global situation, saying that in a context where “sovereignty and survival are guaranteed only through absolute superiority in power,” there is no need to explain the priority of strengthening defense capabilities. His remarks come amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula in recent years due to frequent weapons tests and joint military exercises in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
