North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the country’s air force drills and emphasized the need to intensify war preparation, according to state media. 

Kim inspected anti-aircraft combat and air strike drills conducted by North Korea’s 1st Air Division on Thursday, the Korean Central News Agency reported.

The North Korean leader called for all military units to achieve “a breakthrough in war preparation,” according to the outlet.

North Korea also condemned the U.S. State Department for including it on a list of countries that do not fully cooperate with U.S. counterterrorism efforts — a designation it has received annually since 1997, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. 

“The more the U.S. provokes the [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] with unnecessary and inefficient malicious acts, the further it will escalate the irreconcilable hostility between the DPRK and the U.S.,” a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.
