North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has directed military officials to bolster border forces and other key military divisions as part of efforts to “more thoroughly deter war,” according to state media reports from Monday.
The North Korean leader delivered these instructions during a Sunday gathering with army division and brigade commanders, state media KCNA reported.
Kim urged military leaders to revamp training programs and increase hands-on exercises to address evolving modern combat tactics and North Korea’s advancing military capabilities, KCNA stated.
The leader also emphasized that upcoming initiatives should reshape operational strategies to align with the rapid advancement of military technology and equipment, implementing these changes in unit combat preparation.
According to KCNA, Kim highlighted the importance of ideological commitment and remaining alert against the “arch enemy,” language North Korea commonly uses when referring to South Korea.
