The North Korean leader Kim Jong Un today supervised the launch of a strategic cruise missile and called to prepare to use the offensive nuclear capacities of his country.
The North Korean news agency said that this fourth missile experience of the genre since the beginning of this year had taken place from the Yellow sea and added that a specialized subunit of joint missile units in the Korean People’s Army in the Western region has experienced the experience.
She added that the objective of the test was a warning of what they described as enemies of North Korea on “the capacity of Pyongyang to launch a counterattack anywhere”, and to alert them to “the case of its various means of nuclear operations”.
Images broadcast by the official media have shown the launch of the missile, and Kim was surrounded by officials bearing a perspective and looking at a missile destroying a small building on a neighboring island.
The agency quoted Kim Jong, saying that the ability to lead a “strong blow” constitutes “deterrent and optimal defense”, expressing its satisfaction with the results of the training.
He added that the responsibility of the North Korean nuclear armed forces is the permanent defense of national sovereignty and security by the trusted nuclear shield by obtaining a more complete combat preparation for nuclear force and complete preparation of its use.
The North Korean chief has repeatedly stressed that his country has become a nuclear force and that it would continue to develop its arsenal despite the Western demands of his country to abandon these weapons.
Last Tuesday, Kim accused the United States and its ally in South Korea of having increased tensions in the region, and is committed to undertaking a counter -action – including the production of nuclear weapons more – despite the statements of US President Donald Trump on his intention to communicate with him.
