According to the Kyodo News, April 30,
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reiterated his intention to "pre-emptively" use the country's nuclear weapons if the nation is threatened by what it regards as "hostile forces," state-run media reported Saturday.
While praising top military officials who directed a vast military parade in Pyongyang earlier in the week, Kim was quoted by the official Korean Central News Agency as expressing his eagerness to continue developing nuclear weapons.
North Korea will "pre-emptively and thoroughly contain and frustrate all dangerous attempts and threatening moves, including ever-escalating nuclear threats from hostile forces, if necessary," Kim told the military officials, according to the news agency.
