India, July 24 -- North Korea's Kim Jong Un has issued a new directive for the North Korean military amid the escalating attacks between Ukraine and Russia. As per state media reports on Thursday, the Supreme Leader has called on the North Korean military to "prepare for real war" and "be capable of destroying the enemy in every battle."

The statement by Kim comes after North Korea's deployment of defence troops and weapons to aid Russia during its nearly 30-month-long offensive with Ukraine.

State media had also reported earlier that Kim Jong Un had voiced "unconditional support" for Moscow in the nation's war with Ukraine as a part of his recent talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
