Defence Science Research Institutes of DPRK Test Major Weapon System

Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- The Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted a test on October 31 to assess adaptation to combat and power of a cluster-bomb warhead to be tipped on tactical ballistic missiles.

Full General Kim Jong Sik, member of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea and first vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK, oversaw the test.

The Ballistic Missile System Institute and the Warhead Institute of the Missile Administration announced that they confirmed that the Standard Type 2 cluster-bomb warhead is capable of turning into ashes a target area of 12 to 13 hectares with its highest-density power.

The general director of the DPRK Missile Administration said: "We classify the cluster-bomb warheads into four categories according to special and standard purposes. Within this year we will enable units to select and use all those types according to operational aims and specific features of targets."

The Missile Administration said that the test is a part of regular scientific research activities aimed at boosting the power of combat systems. -0-

31st  of October  2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK that was issued on the 30th of October;

Recently the so-called "Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team"(MSMT) , a body with no legal authority which is nothing to do with the United Nations , issued a statement calling for more sanctions on the DPRK as well as the implementation of the UN Security Council sanctions on the the DPRK and the so-called "denuclearisation " of the DPRK .

The MSMT is made up of countries hostile to the DPRK such as the US and Australia .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry  rightly brands the MSMT statement as " a wanton violation of its sovereignty and vehemently denounces and rejects the U.S. and its vassal forces' ill-intended conspiratorial racket to justify their malicious and depraved hostile policy toward the DPRK under unjust and unreasonable pretexts."

Sanctions will never work on the DPRK . Moreover the DPRK 's nuclear status has been defined by law and is in the Constitution of the DPRK . The DPRK will continue to develop its nuclear forces on a deterrent basis .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry warns those countries that are member states of the MSMT that they will be held responsible for their actions .

We believe that the countries of the West should accept that the reality that the DPRK is a nuclear power and that there is nothing they can do about it ! The US and its lackeys should stop imposing sanctions on the DPRK !

We denounce the latest sanctions of the MSMT on the DPRK and support the press statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry .

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement  of the spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) that was issued on Friday 30th of October;

In the past few days the US and ROK , the enemy states of the DPRK , have escalated tension on the Korean peninsula  in an unprecedented  ways . For example they held the so-called "Freedom Flag " exercise which was launched on the 26th of October ,This exercise is huge in scale and involves army , navy and marines as well as  AWACS and attack drones. The US and ROK have also staged multi-domain exercises .

The US and ROK are looking to launch pre-emptive strikes on the DPRK.

As the spokesman of the DPRK Ministry of National Defence stated "The frequent military moves of the enemy states at the doorstep of the DPRK are increasing the danger of inviting an unexpected armed conflict that will result in catastrophic consequences as the ROK military gangsters are deliberately aggravating the tension in the DPRK-ROK border area"

Clearly the situation on the Korean peninsula is approaching a situation of near war thanks to the continuous and fool hardy provocations. This being the case , the DPRK is perfectly entitled to take counteractions against the US imperialists and ROK puppets.

The DPRK Ministry of National Defence declares that  "Any hostile act of violating the security right of the state is the target of the DPRK's armed forces' just exercise of its sovereign right."

We support the right of the DPRK to defend itself from the aggressive moves of the US and ROK !

Defend People's Korea with No Ifs or Buts !

Press Statement of Spokesman for Foreign Ministry of DPRK

Pyongyang, October 31 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK released the following press statement on October 30:

Recently member states of the multilateral sanctions monitoring team, including the U.S. and Australia, and the EU made public a "joint statement," in which they call for slapping exclusive sanctions on the DPRK, talking about "denuclearization" and implementation of the anti-DPRK UNSC "sanctions resolutions."

This is another case that reminds us that the hostile forces' bad habit of denying the constitutional status of our state and outlawing the normal development of inter-state relations still remains as a deep-rooted poison and malignant tumour undermining the soundness of the international relations.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK brands as a wanton violation of its sovereignty and vehemently denounces and rejects the U.S. and its vassal forces' ill-intended conspiratorial racket to justify their malicious and depraved hostile policy toward the DPRK under unjust and unreasonable pretexts.

Sanctions and pressure may work on the weak but never on us.

The stereotyped sanctions racket of the U.S. and the West can neither influence the position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state nor slacken our hold on the inexhaustibly great power that scares them and will put them into greater fear in the future.

Time proves that the "sanctions" on the DPRK are doomed to go bankrupt just like the irreversible final conclusion - "denuclearization" of the DPRK is theoretically and practically impossible.

Taking this opportunity, we warn once again the member states of the multilateral sanctions monitoring team, including the ROK and Japan, and the EU, which are active in the U.S.-led anti-DPRK sanctions and pressure racket, against their hostile acts, and make it clear that they will be held accountable for such hostile acts.

We will not prevent the U.S. and the West from plunging themselves into a bottomless pitfall in their desperate pursuance of the sanctions that have already proved futile.

The isolated are not us but the U.S. and the Western camp which have lost judgment and courage to admit their strategic failure despite the lack of their means and ability to prove the effectiveness of their sanctions.

The DPRK remains steadfast in its determination to reliably ensure by dint of its powerful strength the protection of its national sovereignty and interests from the sinister hostile moves of the U.S. and its vassal countries, and strive to build the international relations based on justice and impartiality.

The DPRK will never tolerate the hostile forces' evil attempts to curb and hinder the development of normal and mutually beneficial cooperative relations between sovereign states. It will thoroughly defend its national dignity and right to development by responsibly exercising its sovereignty. -0-

Press Statement of Permanent Representative of DPRK to UN

Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- Kim Song, permanent representative of the DPRK to the UN, issued the following press statement on October 29:

Despite the unanimous desire and demand of the international community to reform the UN into a genuine multilateral center where justice and impartiality are realized, retrogressive acts are still being committed.

In the venue of the 3rd Committee of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly where the report of the "special rapporteur" on human rights issue in the DPRK was discussed, the "special rapporteur" and the ROK, Japan and other anti-DPRK forces committed serious politically-motivated provocations against the DPRK, malignantly slandering its policy for ensuring genuine human rights and its actual situation.

I express extreme contempt at the repeated malicious practice of encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty of a sovereign state in the sacred UN arena and denounce and reject it in the strongest tone.

The UN, which regards peace, development and human rights as its core pillar, is now faced with the worst trust crisis and structural crisis unprecedented in its 80-year history. This is mainly attributable to the connivance at the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the specific forces who are abusing the UN organizations and office regulations for their sinister political purposes.

A typical example is the system of the "special rapporteur" on human rights issue in the DPRK, which has existed as a tool of the U.S. and its vassal forces to antagonize the DPRK for over 20 years.

As for the "special rapporteur", he is a political servant who has been active as a "special class hero" in confrontation with the DPRK while frequently flying to the ROK, our invariable hostile state, to meet human scum. So, it is impossible to expect any reasonable thinking and fair judgment from him.

Establishing the public order in society and enhancing the function and role of the law-enforcement organs, irrespective of any country on earth, is regarded as an essential process for ensuring social stability and human rights.

However, the "special rapporteur" deliberately turned away from the lawful course of state management, the most elementary and universal one, and viciously slandered the DPRK's policy of strengthening the discipline and enhancing the role of its law enforcement organs. It highlights again his morbid repugnancy and inveterate hostility toward the DPRK.

In particular, the "special rapporteur" branded the efforts of our state to defend the people's rights to life at the highest level with scientific and preemptive emergency anti-epidemic measures during the world health crisis as a "violation of the right to life". His hysteric behavior clearly proves his identity as a heinous confrontation maniac.

The most serious threat to the right to life comes from the war moves of the U.S. and its vassal forces which unhesitatingly encroach upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries in order to realize their exclusive ambition for hegemony.

They openly violate the state sovereignty of other countries on the basis of the jungle law "Strength precisely means justice", target educational, medical and sports facilities with ultra-modern military hardware and wage the hideous unethical war of massacring civilians on a daily basis.

The present miserable reality, in which a weak country becomes a victim of aggression and war, being deprived of its sovereignty and territory and exposed to merciless violation of human rights, intuitively shows the validity and vitality of the policy on ensuring human rights of the DPRK that reliably defends the national security and provides the best human rights to the people by dint of its powerful deterrent for self-defence.

No matter how often those including the "special rapporteur" on human rights issue in the DPRK may resort to human rights farce according to the order of the hostile forces, nothing will change and no false rumour and vituperation can cover up the true picture of the human rights situation in the DPRK where the people have become the masters of everything.

Human rights apart from state sovereignty are nothing but an armchair argument, and human rights are an absolutely inviolable domain for us.

We will never pardon the vicious anti-DPRK "human rights" farce of those seeking to hurt the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses chosen by all the Korean people, but defend the dignity of the state and the rights and interests of the people in a responsible manner. -0-

Press Statement of Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence

Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement on Friday:

In recent days, the provocative frenzy of the enemy states aimed to raise the level of war preparations against the DPRK has unprecedentedly escalated the military tension in the Korean peninsula.

The U.S. and the ROK military warmongers launched the provocative large-scale joint air drill Freedom Flag against our state on October 26 by mobilizing huge air forces, amid the large-scale field mobile war drill which is being conducted in a frantic way in the whole area of the ROK every day.

The drill involves fighters of the army, navy and marines, to say nothing of air force, and AWACS, air refueling tanker and attack drones. This clearly shows the difference between the "defensive character" of the drill advocated by them and their military purpose.

In particular, the Third Expedition of the U.S. marines, the advance force for overseas aggression, staged the multi-domain reconnaissance drill for the first time in the ROK, which had been conducted in Hawaii, and openly asserted that its main purpose was to support the anti-DPRK preemptive strike system Kill Chain of the ROK. The fact clearly shows the gravity of the military attempt pursued by the enemy states.

The frequent military moves of the enemy states at the doorstep of the DPRK are increasing the danger of inviting an unexpected armed conflict that will result in catastrophic consequences as the ROK military gangsters are deliberately aggravating the tension in the DPRK-ROK border area.

This clearly proves that the cause of endangering the security environment in the region day by day is none other than the U.S. and the ROK which are seeking to seize the superiority of strength through the expansion of the military alliance system and the joint military drills under various pretexts.

The grave situation, in which the national security environment is being exposed to an intolerable threat by the ever-undisguised close-to-actual war and preemptive attack-type hostile military acts of the U.S. and the ROK, demands the practical application of stronger counteraction forces to deter and remove all forms of dangerous elements.

Under the present situation, in which the enemy states' reckless demonstration of strength is becoming routine, it is an indolent idea to expect that the regional situation will be eased of its own accord with the passage of time, and it is the clear stand of our army that only the ready response to a potential new danger variable is a sure way to raise the national security index.

Any hostile act of violating the security right of the state is the target of the DPRK's armed forces' just exercise of its sovereign right.

There is no limit for the DPRK's option to maintain a strong deterrent posture capable of effectively coping with all threats posed by the military moves of the U.S. and its vassal forces and to increase the control of the situation in the Korean peninsula and the region.

The most obvious confrontational intention is bound to invite the most obvious will to respond to it.

Our armed forces will thoroughly deter threats with force and only act in such manner that the enemy states can understand.

No one can put a veto on the DPRK's legitimate exercise of its right to self-defence. -0-

Exhibition "Unmanned Aeronautical Technology Development-2026" Held with Splendour

r

Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- The outstanding leadership of the ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea leading the sacred and historic cause of building a rich country with a strong army to great victory and steady prosperity is ushering in an era of radical development in national defence, the greatest heyday of the military muscle of the DPRK when the absolute strength of our state and people is proudly put on the highest peak of the world.

An exhibition "unmanned aeronautical technology development-2026" was held with splendour on Oct. 29, adding another brilliant page to the history of the struggle for steadily boosting the modernity and military and technological strength of the armed forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

On display at the exhibition were combat systems showing the latest achievements made in the field of unmanned aeronautical technology and the prospect of its development, including strategic and operational and tactical multi-purpose drones and suicide attack drones of various kinds.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, attended an opening ceremony for the exhibition.

He was greeted courteously by leading officials in the field of munitions industry and the Ministry of National Defence.

All the participants paid the highest tribute to Comrade Kim Jong Un, the ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander who has illuminated the clear path to the modernization of the armed forces with his rare military strategic ideas, far-sighted wisdom and energetic leadership and energetically guided the efforts for putting the military and technical might of our army on the highest level.

Present there were secretaries of the C.C., WPK and other members of the Party central leadership, leading officials of the Party Central Committee, senior officials of the Party committees of the Cabinet, commissions and ministries, scientists, technicians and meritorious persons in the field of munitions industry, commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence and services and corps of the Korean People's Army, division and brigade commanders of the army, and teachers and researchers of military educational and scientific research institutes at all levels and major universities.

The national anthem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was played solemnly.

Jo Chun Ryong, member of the Political Bureau and secretary of the C.C., WPK, made a speech at the commemorative event.

The current exhibition is an aggregate of recent achievements made in carrying out the Party Central Committee's policy on developing the unmanned and intelligent combat systems of our own style, he said, introducing the drones of various kinds newly developed in the field of unmanned aeronautical industry.

Comrade Kim Jong Un made an important speech of historic significance.

Referring to the significance of the exhibition intuitively showing the development potential in the field of unmanned aeronautical technology, a key component in the military strength of the state, Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction with it.

Saying that to aim to seize the absolute superiority in the drone technology is an indispensable option in the light of the ever-changing patterns of modern warfare, he mentioned the WPK's national defence development strategy for rapidly expanding and strengthening the unmanned aeronautical technology and the important state measures for its implementation.

Noting that peace and strength are inseparably related to each other, peace is not for sale at any price and therefore even a rich country cannot gain peace with money, Comrade Kim Jong Un said: Strength precisely means peace and peace is guaranteed only by strength. This is a matter of common sense needed to survive in the present noisy world. The scientists of our country should go all out for obtaining miraculous results in development of unmanned aeronautical technology and AI for national defence, too, as we had access to the function of a nuclear weapons state and have made new leaps forward in upgrading conventional weapons.

The senior officials of the Party, government and national defence organs and all those from educational and scientific institutions fervently supported the great historic programme for national defence development, set forth by Comrade Kim Jong Un, and firmly pledged to faithfully carry into practice the plan and decision of the Party Central Committee to reliably defend the security, wellbeing, independent dignity and development environment of the country and its people by dint of absolute power.

Comrade Kim Jong Un went round the exhibition hall with the participants.

Watching the unmanned combat systems on display, he stressed once again the importance and military significance of the development of unmanned aeronautical technology in developing the DPRK's armed forces into the ultra-modern elite army well-versed in modern warfare.

Given the on-going development trend in which unmanned military hardware have emerged as the main assets for military activities in war and their utility scope is expanding with each passing day, it is needed to rapidly develop key technologies in this regard, put unmanned weapon systems on a high-level AI basis and optimize their operational capability, regarding it as a top-priority task for building modern armed forces, he stressed.

The defence science research field should as ever accelerate an important change in the bolstering of the military muscle by dint of mightiness of our Republic's armed forces and sustained and unique development of the self-supporting defence industry reliably supporting the armed forces, he said, underlining the need to push ahead with steadily enhancing their strategic position and role in our own way to the extent that they outpace the world.

The participants looked round the exhibition hall with pride, realizing the epochal development of national defence science.

Then various drones and major weapon systems demonstrated their power to mark the event.

The demonstration involved firepower strikes by various tactical suicide attack drones, tactical cruise missiles, multi-purpose drones and a 600mm-calibre multiple rocket launcher battalion.

Tactical suicide attack drones, air-to-surface missiles from multi-purpose drones and cruise missiles hit the islet target with 100 percent accuracy.

The 600mm-calibre ultra-precision multiple rocket launcher, which is called "sniper", opened fire before the public for the first time.

Watching the great power of the core strategic weapon system of the DPRK, the one and only weapon system in the world, all the participants enthusiastically applauded with great pride.

The creditability and effectiveness of all the major weapon systems were successfully verified.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed once again the unshakable and immutable will of the WPK and the DPRK government to further build up the most powerful and righteous war deterrent in order to firmly defend the security of the country, the peaceful life of the people and the environment for socialist development.

This event will greatly encourage the development of the national defence capabilities aimed at building the most powerful army in the world and give greater confidence and courage to the people all out in the historic struggle to implement the decisions of the Ninth Congress of the WPK. -0-
