State media photos showed what appeared to be a large centrifuge hall, indicating the plant is likely used to enrich weapons-grade uranium.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosure of the new factory is in line with Kim&#8217;s repeated vows to expand its <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-korea-ballistic-missiles-multiple-latest-demonstration\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">nuclear weapons program<\/a><\/span> to cope with what he called escalating U.S.-led military threats.<\/p>\n<p>KCNA said Kim visited the nuclear facility on Wednesday to learn about its operation indices and its long-term production plan.<\/p>\n<p>KCNA quoted Kim as saying the urgency for bolstering up the country&#8217;s nuclear war deterrent, both in quality and quantity, has grown because of confrontations with &#8220;the most ferocious enemies,&#8221; an apparent reference to the United States and South Korea. Kim cited other unspecified threats and crises as a need to boost North Korea&#8217;s nuclear capability, it said.<\/p>\n<p>Kim claimed that North Korea&#8217;s weapons-grade nuclear materials production capacity has more than doubled compared with five years ago, according to KCNA. There are virtually no ways to independently verify his claim.<\/p>\n<p>After a meeting at the facility, Kim said that he and other top officials &#8220;confirmed the order of priority for implementing the ambitious future plan designed to beef up our state&#8217;s nuclear forces at an exponential rate,&#8221; KCNA said.<\/p>\n<p>KCNA photos showed Kim walking through narrow aisles lined with dense rows of silver tubes and pipes, in what appeared to be a centrifuge hall. Another image showed him speaking with senior officials in a meeting room, where a blurred graphic depicting a cone-shaped object was spread across a table. It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear whether the graphic showed a warhead design.<\/p>\n<p>The facility&#8217;s revelation came less than two years after North Korea <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-korea-uranium-enrichment-rare-peek-kim-jong-un-nuclear-weapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">unveiled<\/a><\/span> another covert uranium-enrichment plant in September 2024, in its first public disclosure of such a facility since showing one at the country&#8217;s main Yongbyon nuclear complex to visiting American scholars in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Kim delivered a similar message during his visit to that facility in 2024, calling for an increase in the number of centrifuges to &#8220;exponentially&#8221; expand the country&#8217;s nuclear arsenal and urging the development of more advanced centrifuge systems.<\/p>\n<p>Last September, South Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young said that North Korea was operating a total of four uranium enrichment facilities including the Yongbyon complex, and that they were running everyday.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear weapons can be built using either highly enriched uranium or plutonium, and North Korea has facilities to produce both at Yongbyon.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-korea-new-long-range-missile-military-parade-celebrates-kim-jong-un\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">has focused on<\/a><\/span> enlarging and modernizing its nuclear arsenal since Kim&#8217;s high-stakes diplomacy with President Trump collapsed in 2019. Kim has since rebuffed U.S. and South Korean offers to restart diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>In April, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi told reporters that his agency had confirmed &#8220;a rapid increase&#8221; in activities at nuclear facilities in North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the U.S. Treasury Department <span class=\"link\"><a

target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">remote IT workers<\/a><\/span> were used to defraud businesses and funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into North Korea&#8217;s nuclear weapons programs.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials estimated the scheme brought in nearly $800 million in 2024 alone.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier that same month, North Korean state media <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-korea-kim-jong-un-photos-video-daughter-ju-ae-with-puppies\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">broadcast images<\/a><\/span> that showed Kim inspecting a naval destroyer and its weapons systems, saying he intended to build &#8220;the strongest navy&#8221; in the country&#8217;s history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Experts speculated that the purpose of the images may have been to portray North Korean strength in the immediate days after the U.S. began its strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>
