Kim Jong Un shows off his nuclear facility and calls for 'exponential' increase in warheads

North Korea released first-ever photos of a uranium enrichment site on Thursday. Supreme leader Kim Jong Un has been known to show off his nuclear bombs, but this week he revealed the facilities that create the key material that powers them. Kim released photos of himself touring the facility as he called for his military to “exponentially” increase its nuclear arsenal and be ready for combat with the U.S. and its allies. The pictures released by state media KCNA show a glimpse into the country’s secretive nuclear program, which is banned under multiple UN Security Council resolutions. Independent: A report accompanying the photos on the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) website did not reveal the facility’s location. But analysis by North Korea observers and experts has revealed that the pictures were taken at the Kangson uranium enrichment plant just outside of Pyongyang… The photos show an advanced design of around 1,000 centrifuges and the hall with cascades connecting the centrifuges, suggesting that North Korea has made progress in its uranium enrichment program, according to the experts.
