Kim Jong Un orders North Korean military to prepare for war

Kim Jong Un Korean People's Army combat readiness Demilitarized Zone North Korea military training

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has directed company commanders within the Korean People's Army to intensify training and ensure their units are fully prepared for war. During the Third Meeting of Company Leaders held in Pyongyang on October 22 and 23, Kim described combat readiness as a “primary revolutionary task.”

Kim called for a “Korean-style military revolution” aimed at building the strongest possible army by transforming companies into elite, independent combat units. He emphasized that commanders must demonstrate loyalty to the Party through improved training, patriotic spirit, and fighting efficiency. The meeting was the first gathering of the entire army since the Workers' Party's ninth congress in February.

These directives follow heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula. On September 21, an explosion in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) injured three South Korean soldiers. While Seoul blamed North Korea for the incident, Pyongyang has denied responsibility. Both nations have reported the matter to the UN Security Council.
