        North Korean leader Kim Jong
        Un has accused the United States of ramping up tension and
        provocations, saying the Korean peninsula has never faced such
        risks of nuclear war as now, state media KCNA said on Friday.
        
        In a speech at a military exhibition on Thursday in
        Pyongyang, Kim said he had tried negotiations with Washington
        but the results only highlighted its "aggressive and hostile"
        policy against Pyongyang, KCNA said.
        
        He called for developing and upgrading weaponry and
        vowed to continue advancing defence capabilities to bolster the
        country's strategic position, it said.
