North Korean leader pledges to pursue ‘practical and offensive’ nuclear expansion in response to allied ‘threat’

Kim Jong Un vowed to expand his country's nuclear arsenal in response to recent joint US-South Korea military drills that North Korea sees as a threat.
Kim reviewed attack plans and called for strengthening war deterrence in a 'practical and offensive' manner.
Experts say Kim's provocative behavior aims to force the US to accept North Korea as a nuclear power and negotiate economic concessions.
Kim vowed to reinforce North Korea's war deterrence with 'increasing speed' in response to allies' 'moves of aggression'.
North Korea has reacted angrily to recent joint US-South Korea military exercises, firing about 30 missiles in 11 launch events last month.
