With Powerful Defence Capability

The core of the defence policy of the Workers' Party of Korea is to defend our country and people by our own efforts, and contain any threat and challenge and reliably safeguard peace by means of steadily-developing, powerful defence capability.
On January 27, 2026, the Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted a test-fire to verify the effectiveness of a large-caliber multiple rocket launcher system upgraded with new technology.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un oversaw the test-fire.

Expressing satisfaction over the result of the test, he said:
"Today's test is of great significance in improving the effectiveness of our strategic deterrent.
The self-steered precisely guided flight system, which can neglect any outside intervention, is a major feature that demonstrates the superiority of this weapon system.
As I have always emphasized, the relevant activities we conduct are clearly aimed at none other than further raising the level of our deterrent against a nuclear war."
This is an indispensable measure for self-defence of the DPRK today.
Kim Jong Un stressed that it is the invariable line of our Party's national defence policy to build up the most reliable offensive capability and enforce the deterrence strategy based on it. And he said that the Ninth Congress of the WPK will clarify the next-stage plans for further bolstering up the country's nuclear war deterrent.
Our self-defence capability will keep changing to be unchallenged.
