North Korean leader Kim Jong-un officially designated South Korea the 'most hostile state' during a speech at the first session of the newly elected 15th Supreme People's Assembly, warning of 'merciless' consequences if provoked by Seoul and reaffirming the permanence of North Korea's nuclear arsenal. The remarks build on similar declarations made a month earlier at the Workers' Party Congress.
China's foreign ministry has warned the United Nations that Japan has mastered the ability to extract weapons-grade plutonium, urging the body to prioritise Tokyo's dangerous tendency to seek nuclear weapons. Beijing stated that allowing Japanese right-wing forces to push for nuclear arms would harm international peace. The warning comes amid escalating regional tensions.
