Supreme leader Kim Jong Un has been known to show off his nuclear bombs, but this week he revealed the facilities that create the key material that powers them.
Kim released photos of himself touring the facility as he called for his military to „exponentially“ increase its nuclear arsenal and be ready for combat with the U.S. and its allies.
The pictures released by state media KCNA show a glimpse into the country’s secretive nuclear program, which is banned under multiple UN Security Council resolutions.
The images show Kim walking through rows of centrifuge machines that spin uranium at high speeds to produce nuclear warheads.
Kim visited the Nuclear Weapons Institute and a production base for weapon-grade nuclear materials, KCNA said, and instructed the base to ramp up the number of centrifuges „in order to exponentially increase the number of nuclear weapons.
