Citat:North Korea announces the expansion of its nuclear arsenal
In a speech on Tuesday to mark the 76th anniversary of North Korea's founding, Kim stressed that Pyongyang must continue to improve its defense capabilities, citing the "reckless expansion of the US-led military bloc system."
In light of this process, "the obvious conclusion is that [North Korea's] nuclear forces and the ability to properly use them to ensure the state's right to security at all times should be more thoroughly refined," Kim said, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA ).

Citat:On September 8, the DPRK State Information Agency showed a photo of a new 12-axle mobile launcher (ML), presumably intended for a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
The agency's news did not specifically report on the MPU, but spoke of "newly developed and produced military equipment."
In the image from the MPU, Kim Jong-un was standing nearby.
North Korea is not known to use a 12-axis MPU. The most well-known MPU is the 11-axis vehicle from which the Hwasong-16 and Hwasong-17 ICBMs were test-launched in 2022 and 2023, while the Hwasong-15 ICBM, tested in 2017, 2022, and 2023, was launched from a 9-axis MPU
