#Firstpost North Korea: Kim Jong Un Vows Rapid Nuclear Expansion Amid S. Korea-US Drills | Spotlight | N18G

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for the “rapid expansion” of his country’s nuclear weapons program, escalating tensions with the US and South Korea as the allies conduct joint military drills that Pyongyang views as a prelude to war. Visiting the recently launched destroyer Choe Hyon, Kim said the security environment around the country requires North Korea to make a “rapid expansion of nuclearisation” and speedily develop its naval forces, the official Korean Central News Agency reported Tuesday. The US and South Korea on Monday began their regular summertime exercises, which North Korea has long derided as a rehearsal for war.
