Seoul [South Korea], April 11 (HBTV): North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Thursday said the unstable geopolitical situations surrounding his country mean now is the time to be more thoroughly prepared for a war than ever, Yonhap News Agency reported citing KCNA.  

During his inspection of the country's primary military university, Kim Jong-il University of Military and Politics, which was named after Kim's late father, a military training school for core commanding officers, Kim Jong Un underscored the urgency of readiness in light of prevailing circumstances.  

According to Yonhap News Agency, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, North Korea has stepped up weapons development in recent years and has forged closer military and political ties with Russia, allegedly aiding Moscow in its war with Ukraine in return for help with strategic military projects.  

Further, the North Korean leader has vowed to mobilize all means to deal a "death blow" to the country's enemy without hesitation should it opt for military confrontation with the North, state media said Thursday.  

"He said that now is the time to be more thoroughly prepared for a war than ever before and that the DPRK should be more firmly and perfectly prepared for a war, which should be won without fail, not just for a possible war," the KCNA said, referring to the North by its formal name, as per Yonhap News Agency.
