North Korea’s communist regime said it will bolster its nuclear capabilities, claiming it is the only option available.

The country, making the statement on the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War, said nuclear arms have “become an indispensable strategic option for our people, who were subjected to disastrous disturbances of war on this land by the U.S., to possess the powerful war deterrent for national defense.”
