The comments come after North Korea claimed it completed a test of an engine intended for long-range ballistic missiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has hinted that the country has developed “secret weapons”<\/em> to bolster deterrence against the US and its allies.<\/p>\n

In a speech carried by the state-run KCNA news agency on Monday, Kim said Pyongyang must “continuously stockpile even more formidable forces capable of repelling all military threats,”<\/em> and accused Washington and its allies of destabilizing the region by staging “provocative actions that further escalate tensions”<\/em> and disregarding North Korea’s security concerns.<\/p>\n

To offset the perceived threat, North Korea has “acquired new secret weapons and has achieved a significant number of research achievements in defense science,”<\/em> Kim said, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

He added that Pyongyang also “successfully built a strategic axis for safeguarding maritime sovereignty by producing destroyers capable of performing various maritime military missions.”<\/em><\/p>\n

His comments come after North Korea said earlier this month it completed the final ground test of a solid-fuel engine intended for the Hwasong-20 intercontinental ballistic missile, a weapon that could potentially reach the continental US.<\/p>\n

Last week, Kim also oversaw tests of tactical attack drones known as Kumsong and an unmanned strategic reconnaissance aircraft. In March, he observed tests of AI-powered “suicide drones.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In his speech, Kim also reiterated his criticism of the concept of “phased denuclearization,”<\/em> stressing that “we will never give up our nuclear weapons,”<\/em> while noting that North Korea’s nuclear status is a “national law.”<\/em><\/p>\n

At the same time, he struck a peaceful tone, saying if the US abandons what he called a “vain obsession with denuclearization and acknowledges reality,”<\/em> the two countries would have an opportunity to forge ties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
