Kim says North Korea's nuclear forces ready for war
Gulf Today
|January 06, 2026
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the firing of “cutting-edge” hypersonic missiles to ready Pyongyang's nuclear forces for war, state media reported on Monday, saying “geopolitical crisis” made the test even more urgent in a clear nod to this weekend’s US attack on Venezuela.
-
Seoul and Tokyo said on Sunday they had detected the launch from near Pyongyang of two ballistic missiles - the country's first test of the year just hours before South Korean leader Lee Jae Myung headed to Beijing for a summit.
Lee has said he hopes to use his visit to harness China’s clout over North Korea to improve Seoul's ties with Pyongyang.
On Monday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) quoted Kim as saying the test showed “the readiness of the DPRK's nuclear forces,” referring to North Korea by its official name.
