North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, recently watched a test that launched strategic cruise missiles. He said the country must be ready to use its nuclear weapons as a form of protection. According to state media, the test aimed to send a warning to “enemies” and show that North Korea is prepared for any confrontation.
Kim emphasized that having strong weapons is the best way to keep the country safe. He claimed it’s the duty of North Korea’s military to protect the nation’s independence and security using their nuclear defenses. The missile test took place over the sea near the west coast of Korea.
South Korea’s military noticed signs of the missile launches and tracked several missiles that were shot off around 8 a.m. on Wednesday. North Korea has been working on cruise missiles for a long time, which can carry nuclear warheads. These types of missiles often cause less worry compared to ballistic missiles since they are not outright banned by international rules.
While Kim didn’t name any specific countries in his warnings, he has continued to speak harshly about the United States and South Korea. This news comes after Kim visited military schools, stressing the need for loyalty and better training for young officers.
