North Korea has announced plans to increase its nuclear capabilities and expand the role of its military intelligence agency focused on South Korea, according to state media. This follows ongoing tensions between the two countries, which remain technically at war due to the unresolved outcome of the Korean War. The decision was made during an expanded meeting of North Korea's ruling party's central military commission. Experts suggest this move indicates a shift in North Korea's stance toward viewing the two Koreas as hostile states rather than operating under an armistice agreement. Additionally, North Korea is reportedly seeking military technology, including surveillance satellites, in exchange for sending troops to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
