In a recent statement, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Kim Yo Jong, declared North Korea's intention to enhance its nuclear war capability following the arrival of a nuclear-powered U.S. submarine in South Korea. This move comes amidst escalating tensions in the region, with North Korea unveiling a uranium-enrichment facility and conducting a new ballistic missile test.
Kim Yo Jong emphasized the need to continuously strengthen North Korea's nuclear deterrent in response to what she described as the U.S.'s military and strategic provocations. She asserted that U.S. strategic assets would not be tolerated in the Korean Peninsula region.
