KABUL: The North Korean state-run media reported on Monday that President Kim Jong Un has instructed the military to enhance its capabilities for a real war.
He made the remarks in a meeting, with high-ranking officials, where he called the United States and its allies as the primary factors behind increasing tensions and a real war.
He emphasized the need for the North Korean army to be prepared and to bolster its readiness for a real war.
It remains unclear that the order of President Kim includes preparations in which areas.
In recent weeks, reports of thousands of North Korean soldiers being dispatched to the front lines in Russia’s war in Ukraine have raised concerns among the U.S. and its Western allies.
This comes amid a notable increase in relations between Russia and North Korea in recent times.
