North Korea Promises “Exponential” Increase in Nuclear Arsenal as Tensions with US, Japan and South Korea Rise. As the entire world was ushering in the new year, North Korea was busy sending out new year greetings to its estranged Korean brother to the south – with ballistic missiles. The latest round of sabre rattling by North Korea over the new year weekend has pushed its southern neighbour into a tighter embrace with the US as South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced plans for joint exercises using American nuclear assets. Yoon’s revelation about South Korea’s plan for joint nuclear exercises with the US came a day after North Korea’s ruler Kim Jong Un said that his government intends to develop new intercontinental ballistic missiles and increase its nuclear arsenal to counter America.
