Kim said this during his visit to the Kim Jong-il University of Military and Politics on Wednesday, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported, quoting Yonhap news agency. According to KCNA, “Kim said now is the time to prepare for war better than ever and that North Korea should prepare for it more strongly.” Kim directed the university to cultivate new military talents. It is noteworthy that North Korea is accelerating weapons testing this year. This includes launches of cruise missiles from sea and land and firing exercises from super-large multiple rocket launchers. Last week, it claimed to have successfully tested a new medium-range ballistic missile equipped with a hypersonic warhead.
