North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a major expansion of the country's nuclear arsenal while unveiling a new facility dedicated to producing fuel for nuclear weapons.
During a visit to the site, Kim said the country's capacity to produce weapons-grade nuclear material has increased substantially over the past several years. He described the expansion of nuclear forces as a necessary response to growing security challenges and ongoing regional tensions.
State media reported that Kim reviewed new production technologies, current output levels, and long-term plans aimed at strengthening North Korea's strategic deterrent. Officials also discussed future steps designed to accelerate the country's nuclear development program.
Photographs released by state media showed Kim inspecting the facility and receiving briefings from senior officials. According to reports, a high-level meeting was also held to discuss plans for further enhancing nuclear capabilities.
Kim emphasized that the country intends to continue expanding its nuclear strength, describing the effort as a significant milestone in national defense policy.
Analysts believe the announcement may be intended to reinforce North Korea's position ahead of any future diplomatic engagements. Observers say the move signals that Pyongyang remains committed to advancing its nuclear program despite international pressure.
South Korean military officials identified the newly revealed site as a uranium enrichment facility, marking another public disclosure of North Korea's nuclear infrastructure. The development is expected to draw renewed attention from regional powers and the international community.
