On February 3, the Institute for Disarmament and Peace of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea issued a communiqué on February 2. The communiqué stated that not long ago, the United States announced the idea of further expanding its missile defense system under the pretext of ensuring the security of its homeland and allies from the so-called "strategic threat" of the enemy country. The United States has accelerated the development of hypersonic interceptor missiles with its allies such as Japan and deployed the "THAAD" system in South Korea and other regions, which will inevitably stimulate the security concerns of regional countries. The more severe global security environment urgently requires North Korea to continuously develop its self-defense national defense force with nuclear deterrence as the core, respond to the United States increasingly intensified military hegemony attempt, and reliably safeguard the countrys security and development rights. The communiqué stated that North Korea will respond to the increasingly intensified military threats of hostile forces with unlimited military force strengthening in the future, rely on strong self-defense forces to maintain world peace, and build a more stable regional security environment.Conflict situation: 1.
