MADRID, 11 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, stressed on Tuesday the “need” for the country’s war deterrence to be more “offensive”, in the context of growing tensions in the region.
“Kim Jong Un has emphasized the need to expand the war deterrence of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), becoming increasingly stronger in a more practical and offensive way,” reads a statement collected by the KCNA agency.
The president has indicated that this strategy must be applied “effectively with stricter control and management measures” in order to guarantee the “security that has worsened on the Korean peninsula.”
Kim, who attended a meeting of the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea (PTC) on Monday over the joint military exercises carried out by the United States and South Korea, has described such maneuvers as “frantic “.
Thus, he has criticized that Washington and Seoul have used words of war and that their joint military exercises have simulated “total war” once morest Pyongyang.
“They have clearly displayed their sinister royal colors for aggression while making reckless remarks for confrontation with the DPRK and deliberately inciting military actions for the attack,” the letter continued.
North Korea has launched several underwater strategic nuclear weapons in recent weeks, which are designed to “stealthily infiltrate operational waters and create a large-scale radioactive tsunami.”
The North Korean authorities justified these launches by accusing the US and South Korea of rehearsing “an ‘occupation’ exercise” during the joint military maneuvers being carried out by both countries under the name of ‘Shield of Freedom’.
