North Korea Vows to Stage an 'Overwhelming Attack' on Its Enemies 'Without Delay' on Anniversary of Korean War Armistice

Benzinga

North Korea vowed to "totally destroy" its enemies if a war broke out upon an order from leader Kim Jong-un. Senior military officials made the comments at a meeting attended by Kim, marking the 71st anniversary of the Korean War armistice. The officials aimed to strengthen war efficiency to stage an "overwhelming attack on the enemy anytime and without delay" upon an order from Kim. North Korea signed an armistice agreement on July 27, 1953, ending the three-year Korean War, but the two sides are still technically at war as it ended with a truce, not a treaty. The US and its allies do not have diplomatic relations with North Korea and denuclearization talks have been stalled since 2019.
