Voice of America News reports: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will speed up steps toward becoming a military superpower with nuclear weapons and would not rule out using them if enemies attacked it, state media KCNA said on Tuesday.

Kim made the comments in a speech on Monday at a university, which was printed in full by KCNA.

He said he has no intention of attacking South Korea, but ‘if the enemy attempts to use force against our country’ North Korea’s military will use all aggression without hesitation, which ‘does not preclude the use of nuclear weapons.’.

Kim also called for extensive strengthening of North Korea’s defenses, according to KCNA…”
