Kim's sister warns of increased nuclear stance
Statements by Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, have shown a rhetorical escalation against the United States, promising to strengthen nuclear capabilities in response to what she described as increasing military threats in the region. She pointed out that the "Pacific Vanguard 2026" exercises, participated in by the United States, South Korea, Japan, and other countries, are considered a "war game" aimed at expanding American military influence in Asia and the Pacific. She also emphasized that external threats will continually push North Korea to enhance its military capabilities, promising to take countermeasures that are "proportionate or even more aggressive" if pressures persist. The path of nuclear deterrence will remain unchanged, she warned, vowing to use "all available means" to defend its sovereignty. The maneuvers took place between August 29 and September 10 around Guam, involving several countries, at a time when Pyongyang again rejects denuclearization, affirming that its status as a nuclear-armed state is non-negotiable.
