North Korean state media said Kim Jong Un toured a newly inaugurated nuclear materials production factory on Wednesday, marking a fresh step in his drive to expand the country’s nuclear arsenal.
Output capacity at the facility has doubled, according to the report, though KCNA did not disclose the plant’s location or specify what nuclear materials it produces.
The unveiling comes as Pyongyang presses ahead with weapons development and amid reports that Chinese President Xi Jinping may travel to North Korea in the coming weeks.
