North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, accused the United States of escalating tensions in Asia and the Pacific. She was responding to frequent military exercises conducted by the US and its allies in the region, which she described as preparation for war. svet.sme.sk ↗
Kim Yo-jong stated that Washington's military activities are increasing the risk of confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. According to her, Pyongyang is considering a "more offensive" response to the continuation of these exercises. hnonline.sk ↗
North Korea also announced that it would strengthen its nuclear capabilities and harden its nuclear deterrence. Kim Yo-jong's statements suggest that the country's leadership views the joint maneuvers of the United States and its allies as a direct security threat. aktuality.sk ↗
Tensions in the region have long been fueled by North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, as well as Washington's military cooperation with its allies in East Asia. North Korea regularly criticizes joint US-South Korea exercises, which it regards as rehearsals for an attack on its territory.
The latest warning could lead to further strengthening of North Korea's nuclear deterrence and to harsher rhetoric toward the United States. However, the available statements do not indicate what concrete steps Pyongyang might take.
