Kim's statement was made during a speech before the 5th Plenary Meeting of 7th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. KCNA has published an extensive summary of his comments.
N. Korea has already conducted six underground nuclear weapons tests (2006, 2009, 2013, 2016 (2x) and 2017), as well as demonstrated ICBMs capable of reaching the U.S. (Hwasong-14 & -15).
Many analysts believe future tests will include sub-launched ballistic missiles, as well as an atmospheric nuclear detonation (publicly threatened in 2017).
