North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, has pledged to launch three additional military spy satellites, bolster nuclear weapons production, and deploy modern unmanned combat equipment in 2024, emphasizing the need for “overwhelming” war readiness in response to perceived threats from the US and its allies.
The announcement was made during a ruling Workers’ Party meeting where Kim Jong Un outlined plans to enhance the country’s military capabilities, including the firing of three new spy satellites and the development of nuclear weapons and advanced combat technology.
This move follows North Korea’s increased ballistic missile testing, prompting heightened tensions in the region with corresponding military responses from the US and South Korea.
The country’s intelligence service warns of potential provocations and cyberattacks in 2024 amid fluid political situations.
