North Korean Prime Minister Kim Jong Un concludes a major military conference in North Korea and becomes a "hostile force" when authorities give unspecified approval. Faced with doubling the buildup of nuclear weapons. A new operational mission for the frontline army.

We will take further steps to strengthen the military and national nuclear war deterrence, which stated that they have decided to supplement the Action Plan.

North Korea's official South Korean central news agency's report did not include direct criticism of Washington or Seoul amid a prolonged stalemate in nuclear negotiations.

Kim interrupted recent tests and repeatedly commented that North Korea would actively use nuclear weapons when threatened or provoked.
Short-range weapons
Kim's ICBM has received international attention, but North Korea has been a short-range solid fuel missile that threatens the South since 2019. Weapons are also expanding. Korea. North Korea describes some of these missiles as "tactical" weapons. Experts say they are arming missiles with smaller battlefield nuclear bombs and actively using them during regular warfare to convey the threat of blunting the more powerful conventional weapons of South Korea and the United States. Approximately 28,500 US troops are stationed in the south to prevent the invasion from the north.
The apparent impetus for North Korea to deploy battlefield nuclear weapons to front-line units was that when Kim oversaw the testing of new short-range missiles, state media ``s frontline artillery firepower. It had been predicted since he said it would improve "dramatically." Units and "improve the efficiency of the operation of tactical nuclear weapons."

Experts have used the following nuclear tests to install small nuclear warheads compatible with other weapons recently tested by North Korea, including so-called short-range missiles or hypersonic missiles. He states that he may claim to have acquired the ability to build. Long-range cruise missile. The pursuit of the multi-warhead ICBM mentioned by North Korea will also require smaller warheads.
