North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for the development of a stronger, more modern military during a visit to the Kang Kon Military Academy, according to state media KCNA. The announcement comes amid reports that Pyongyang is preparing for potential further involvement in Russia’s war against
During his visit, Kim criticized the academy for its poor management and outdated facilities, asserting that they fell short of the ruling party’s standards for building a powerful, advanced army. “The present international situation, in which the aggressive and bellicose nature of the imperialists is most openly expressed... requires the armed forces ... to perfectly cope with a war,” he declared. Kim laid out plans for refurbishing the academy’s facilities and intensifying practical military training, urging students to master advanced weapons and technical equipment to gain real-world combat experience.
This visit follows Kim’s recent tour of Kim Il Sung University of Politics, where he reiterated the need for military loyalty and sacrifice.

Reports indicate that thousands of North Korean soldiers have already been sent to Russia, with Kyiv stating that these forces have incurred heavy casualties—over 3,000 soldiers killed or wounded by early January this year.
