        North Korean leader Kim Jong
        Un urged the country's military to improve capabilities for
        fighting a war in a speech last week, state media KCNA said on
        Monday.
        
        Kim delivered the speech to a conference of battalion
        commanders and political instructors held in Pyongyang on
        Friday.
        
        Kim said the threatening nature of the U.S. and its
        allies including South Korea and their military confrontation
        with North Korea have brought tension on the Korean peninsula to
        "the worst phase in history," calling for war preparations, KCNA
        said.
