Kim Jong Un Inspects New Nuclear Plant, Vows Exponential Arsenal Growth

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a newly built facility for producing weapons-grade nuclear material. State media say he vowed to expand the country’s nuclear forces at an exponential rate. Kim added that capacity has more than doubled over the past five years and that the new site will boost Pyongyang’s deterrent. The announcement follows stalled denuclearisation talks with the United States. Experts warn this signals a shift from experimental tests to large-scale production. North Korea is already believed to hold enough material for up to 90 warheads and continues to expand enrichment activities.
