North Korea Vows Nuclear Expansion

North Korea has pledged to strengthen its nuclear force 'both in quality and quantity' and expand its military intelligence agency's operations against 'potential enemies.' The announcement came from a military commission meeting.

State media reported that Pyongyang plans to accelerate the building of modern naval bases and upgrade combat systems.

Analysts say the move signals an intent to broaden covert operations beyond South Korea, amid deepening military ties with Russia.
