North Korea has pledged to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones, and boost its nuclear arsenal in 2024 as leader Kim Jong Un said U.S. policy is making war inevitable. According to Korean Central News Agency, Kim lashed out at Washington in his remarks wrapping up five days of ruling party meetings that set economic, military and foreign policy goals for the coming year. He ordered the military to prepare to pacify the entire territory of South Korea, including with nuclear bombs if necessary, in response to any attack.
Kim’s speech comes ahead of a year that will see elections in both South Korea and the United States.
