North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, has ordered his military, munitions makers and nuclear sector to speed up war preparations in response to unusually confrontational US moves in an attempt to resist the moves. Information about this was published by North Korean state media and was reported by Reuters on December 28.
Reuters notes that over the past year, North Korea has enshrined nuclear policy in its constitution, launched a spy satellite and tested a new intercontinental ballistic missile .
