North Korea's Kim Jong-Un orders sharp missile production increase, wants power to 'surely annihilate' enemies

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un has ordered missile factories to ramp up its production capabilities and be war-ready as the South and US begin joint military drills.

"The qualitative level of war preparations depends on the development of the munitions industry and the factory bears a very important responsibility in speeding up the war preparations of the (North) Korean People’s Army," Kim said, per KCNA.

According to the report, Kim said North Korea must have "an overwhelming military force and get fully prepared for coping with any war" with the power to "surely annihilate" its enemies.
