The Democratic People's Republic of Korea needs to prepare for war, for which it should strengthen its own Armed Forces, said North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

His words are reported by the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (KCNA). It is specified that Comrade Kim made his statement during a visit to the aviation regiment of the First Guards Air Force Division of the Korean People's Army, where he personally led the combat exercises of the Air Force squadrons.

The country's leader noted that all parts of the army "must make a radical change in preparation for war." According to Kim Jong-un, for this it is necessary to be constantly "ready to enter the war, full combat readiness."

"He stressed that all parts of the army must make a radical change in preparation for war, constantly being ready to enter the war, full combat readiness," the KCNA said in a statement.

The agency also points out that during the exercises, tracking and destruction of cruise missiles and kamikaze attack drones, neutralization and destruction of attack drones using electronic means were practiced. Tests of a new long-range and planning guided bomb were also carried out.
