North Korea ‘becoming a military superpower’, Kim Jong-un claims

In a speech on Monday at a university named after him, the Kim Jong-un University of National Defence, he said that North Korea “will without hesitation use all its attack capabilities against its enemies” if they attempt to use armed forces against the country, according to the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.

“The use of nuclear weapons is not ruled out in this case,” he said.

“Yoon Suk-yeol made some tasteless and vulgar comment about the end of the [North Korean] republic in his speech, and it shows he is totally consumed by his blind faith in his master’s strength,” KCNA quoted Kim as saying, referring to the South’s alliance with the US.
