On Monday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

Kim Jong Un (Hangul 김정은, Hanja 金正恩, English Kim Jong-Un) is a North Korean politician inspecting the DPRK's Nuclear Weapons Institute, where he oversees the installation of ballistic missile warheads, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.

He noted that the institute must visionarily expand the production of nuclear materials for weapons in order to fully implement the Party Central Committee's plan to gradually increase nuclear arsenals.

This should be an incentive to continue developing the production of powerful nuclear weapons," the statement said.
