00:00 According to the North Korean state agency KCNA, Kim Jong-un has issued new nuclear strike

00:05 threats against South Korea and has ordered to accelerate military preparations in the

00:10 view of a war that could break out at any time in the peninsula.

00:13 The year 2024 is expected to be extended in the Korean peninsula.

00:18 North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has launched new nuclear strike threats against South Korea

00:24 and has also ordered the acceleration of military preparations in view of a war that

00:29 could break out at any time in the peninsula, reported the state agency KCNA on Sunday,

00:34 December 31.

00:35 The leader attacked the United States in a long speech at the end of a five-day meeting

00:41 of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, a big year-end mass that sets

00:45 the country's strategic orientations.

00:47 During this meeting, the ruling party announced the launch of three new spy satellites in

00:53 2024, the construction of drones and the development of electronic warfare capabilities, according

00:59 to KCNA.

01:00 After two successive failures in May and June, North Korea successfully put its first

01:06 military observation satellite into orbit in November.

01:09 Moscow's technological aid South Korean intelligence services estimate

01:14 that Pyongyang has received decisive technological aid from Russia, where Kim Jong-un went in

01:18 September and met President Vladimir Putin to succeed in putting this satellite into

01:24 orbit, the Malygyon-1.

01:26 North Korea proceeded in 2023 to a record number of ballistic missile tests, in violation

01:32 of many UN resolutions prohibiting it.

01:34 It engraved its status of nuclear power in its constitution and successfully attested

01:40 the Hwaseong-18, the most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile in its arsenal, capable

01:46 of reaching the United States.

01:48 Kim Jong-un accused in his Washington speech of "various types of military threats"

01:53 and ordered his armed forces to maintain "a capacity for crushing response to war",

01:59 according to KCNA.

02:00 "This is a fact that a war can break out at any time in the Korean Peninsula because

02:05 of the reckless movements of the enemies aiming to invade us," the leader said.

02:09 In a dissuasive effort, the US armed forces have sent to South Korea in recent

02:15 months the USS Missouri nuclear propulsion submarine, the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier

02:20 and a strategic bomber B-52, each time provoking North Korea's anger.

02:25 North Korea had already described the deployment of strategic weapons by Washington as an

02:31 "intentional provocation" of a nuclear war.

02:34 "We must react quickly to a possible nuclear crisis and continue to accelerate preparations

02:39 to pacify the entire territory of South Korea by mobilizing all means and forces, including

02:45 nuclear force, in case of emergency," Kim Jong-un said.

02:49 "A situation of persistent and uncontrollable crisis."

02:53 Pyongyang sees military maneuvers at its doors as the repetition of a future invasion of

02:58 its territory and has long considered these missile tests as "necessary countermeasures".

03:03 At the party meeting, the leader said he was no longer seeking reconciliation and reunification

03:10 with South Korea, emphasizing the "situation of persistent and uncontrollable crisis"

03:15 which, according to him, was triggered by Seoul and Washington.

03:19 The two Koreas had started a process of rapprochement in 2018, characterized by three meetings

03:25 between Kim Jong-un and the South Korean president at the time, Moon Jae-in.

03:30 But relations between the two Koreas deteriorated to a point this year, after the launch

03:36 of a spy satellite by Pyongyang led Seoul to partially suspend a 2018 military agreement

03:41 aimed at easing tensions.

03:42 "I think it's a mistake we shouldn't make to consider those who declare us as

03:48 main enemies, as partners for reconciliation and unification," said Kim, quoted by KCNA.

03:55 He ordered a resumption of the administrations managing relations with the South in order

04:01 to "fundamentally change direction."

04:03 For Lai Hsih-li, professor of international relations at the University of Seoul, the

04:09 decision made by Pyongyang on its "important military capabilities" is likely to hide

04:14 the country's economic difficulties this year.

04:17 Pyongyang's belligerent rhetoric suggests that its military actions are not only aimed

04:22 at dissuasion but also at domestic policy and international coercion, he estimates.
