Leader Kim Jong Un stresses need to augment number of centrifuges to increase country’s nuclear weapons defence.
North Korea has released the first-ever photos of a uranium enrichment facility, showing leader Kim Jong Un touring it as he called for more centrifuges to boost his country’s nuclear weapons arsenal.
Pyongyang, which is facing a slew of United Nations sanctions for pursuing its banned weapons programmes, has previously never publicly disclosed details of its uranium enrichment facility since its first nuclear test in 2006.
Kim toured the Nuclear Weapons Institute and the “production base of weapon-grade nuclear materials,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday.
The photos showed Kim walking between long rows of metal centrifuges but it did not say when he visited the location.
