Kim’s decision to build a stronger nuclear stockpile

North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un announced an increase in nuclear weapons stockpile. He made this announcement while inspecting a newly built warship of the navy on Monday (August 18). The country’s state broadcaster KRT confirmed the matter. According to the report, Pyongyang has taken this decision in response to the continuous threats and military exercises of the United States and South Korea. Earlier, Washington and Seoul announced joint military exercises this week. Kim Jong Un strongly criticized them at the event. He claimed that such steps by the two countries are aimed at aggressive behavior against North Korea. Which can provoke a real war at any time. Although the United States and South Korea have always claimed that the exercises are defensive. It is worth noting that the North Korean supreme leader said the same thing while inspecting a uranium production and nuclear weapons institute on January 29 of this year.
