North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un says the country is “equipping the navy with nuclear weapons.”

– The program to equip the navy with nuclear weapons is unerringly following the plan, Kim Jong-Un said during a ceremony on Tuesday, according to the state-controlled KCNA news agency.

This spring, the UN agency IAEA warned that North Korea was showing a “very serious increase” in its capacity to produce nuclear weapons.

Kim Jong-Un also spoke of plans to build warships weighing 10,000 tons.
