North Korean leader vows to build overwhelming offensive capabilities

SANAA, March 29 (YPA) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to build up “overwhelming” and unstoppable military power, state media reported Monday.

“Only when one is equipped with the formidable striking capabilities, overwhelming military power that cannot be stopped by anyone, one can prevent a war, guarantee the security of the country and contain and put under control all threats and blackmails by the imperialists,” Kim told workers involved in the launch, KCNA reported.

“We will continue to attain the goal of reinforcing national defense capabilities.”

The North Korean leader’s remarks came after Pyongyang launched an intercontinental long-range ballistic missile on March 24, the first test of its kind since 2017.
