South Korea has released its latest defence white paper in which it described North Korea as an “enemy” and reports that Pyongyang has increased its stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium by an estimated 40 percent.
The defence paper published on Thursday offered a glimpse into North Korea’s growing number of nuclear weapons and missile stockpiles, as well as its conventional military capabilities, with an estimated North Korean troop strength of 1.28 million active-duty personnel.
