North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said the volatile geopolitical situation requires North Korea to be ready for war now more than ever.
According to NHK, quoted by Reuters, Kim, during an inspection at the Kim Jong-Il Military University on Wednesday, added: "If the enemy starts a military confrontation with Pyongyang, North Korea will use all means and without hesitation to deliver a death blow to the enemy".
In a report on Kim's visit, the Korean Central News Agency wrote early Thursday: "He described the complicated international situation and the unclear and unstable military and political situation in the area around North Korea and said that now more than ever, we must be ready for war."
Under Kim Jong-Un's leadership, North Korea has accelerated its weapons development and established close political and military relations with Russia.
Pyongyang has always accused the US and South Korea of raising military tensions through "military exercises".
Pyongyang recently confirmed that it has test-fired a new solid-fueled medium-range hypersonic missile under the supervision of Kim Jong-Un.
