Kim Jong Un, the dictator of North Korea, has announced that the country's navy will soon be equipped with nuclear weapons as part of its "deterrence" strategy. This announcement comes amidst military drills in the region by both South Korea and the U.S. Kim blamed the U.S. military for increasing the danger of a nuclear war during his address on Navy Day. He stated that the waters off the Korean Peninsula have become the world's biggest war hardware concentration spot and the most unstable waters with the danger of a nuclear war.North Korea's focus is believed to be on equipping its submarines with nuclear-capable missiles. This comes after a year of increased aggression from the country, with record numbers of weapons tests and missile launches. However, their attempt to deploy a satellite in orbit failed last week, with the rocket failing in the third stage of flight. Despite this setback, North Korea's National Aerospace Development Administration plans to attempt another launch in October.
The launch of the rocket violated U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban North Korea from using ballistic technologies, according to South Korea's military. Japanese Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno also criticized the launch, calling it a "threat to peace and stability."
Ultimately, North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons for its navy raises concerns about the stability and safety of the region. The potential for a nuclear war and the violations of international resolutions highlight the ongoing tensions and challenges posed by North Korea's aggressive actions. The international community will need to closely monitor the situation and coordinate efforts to prevent further escalation and promote peace in the Korean Peninsula.
