Kim accused the U.S. of building a “nuclear military bloc for aggression” with its allies in Japan and South Korea, describing America as a “reactionary state” committed to anti-communist policies. The official Korean Central News Agency reported that North Korea plans aggressive countermeasures but withheld details.
The pledge comes amid growing concerns over North Korea’s alignment with Russia in the Ukraine war. Pyongyang has reportedly deployed thousands of troops to assist Moscow, raising fears about potential nuclear and missile technology exchanges.
