Pyongyang: North Korea, which tested three ballistic missiles on Saturday, signalled a more aggressive approach to its nuclear policy in the new year. On Sunday, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un criticising the US and North Korea, announced the development of a new intercontinental ballistic missile and an addition to the nuclear weapons stockpile. A few days ago, five North Korean drones entered South Korea. After that, new missile tests and Kim Jong-un’s statement seem to have increased tension in the region.
In addition, South Korea test-fired three short-range ballistic missiles on Saturday. It was said that the missiles in these tests, conducted between 8:00 am and 8:30 am, reached a distance of 300 to 350 kilometres. The Ministry of Defense of Japan informed that all three missiles crashed within the limits of the Sea of Japan. South Korea has also confirmed these tests and has warned that the defence forces were on high alert.
In 2022, North Korea test-fired more than 90 ballistic and medium-range missiles, creating tension in the region. In response to this action by North Korea, South Korea increased the intensity of war exercises with the help of the United States. 
It had been claimed that South Korean President Yun Suk-yeol had taken a more aggressive stance. However, due to the infiltration of drones and subsequent tests of three ballistic missiles, South Korean President Yeol seems to be in trouble.
On the other hand, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has signalled the further expansion of his nuclear weapons programme. After the trials on Saturday, Kim Jong held a meeting of the ruling party. He had criticised the provocative activities of the US and South Korea therein. Due to these activities, North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un claimed that North Korea needed to increase its defence capability. He warned North Korea would add to its nuclear weapons in the new year. Kim Jong-un also claimed that North Korea would develop a new intercontinental ballistic missile and increase the production of tactical nuclear weapons.
