PYONGYANG, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Kim Jong Un said that the only way to defend the nation's sovereignty is to further strengthen nuclear forces in quality and the military should be prepared to deliver nuclear warheads at any time.
The DPRK leader made the remarks when guiding a test firing of newly developed large-caliber multiple rocket launcher, the state media KCNA reported Friday.
Kim said that as the enemies are planning to carry out the "beheading operation" that targets the DPRK leadership and the DPRK system, the DPRK will make the military corresponding measures in "preemptive manners," the KCNA reported.
Kim said the prevailing situation when strategic and tactical weapons have been deployed to South Korea has proved the DPRK's foresight to choose to become a nuclear state and try to strengthen nuclear power in all ways.
He instructed that the military should be ready to deliver the deployed nuclear warheads at any time for national defense.
