Amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered military maneuvers for a “real war”. Kim accompanied a maneuver together with his daughter, the state news agency KCNA reported on Friday. Photos published at the same time show several missiles being fired during the maneuver on Thursday.
Kim told the soldiers involved in the exercise to conduct “various simulation exercises for a real war” and to constantly intensify them, KCNA further reported. The conflict on the Korean peninsula has escalated in recent weeks. North Korea recently accused the United States of “deliberately” increasing tensions in the region through joint military maneuvers with South Korea. Seoul and Washington are set to begin a 10-day joint military maneuver on Monday — the largest joint exercise in five years.
North Korea conducted three missile tests within days in February, including an ICBM. In November, Kim announced that he wanted to make his country “the most powerful nuclear power in the world.”
