North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly supervised the installation of a new tactical missile weapons system.
What Happened: Kim expressed satisfaction with the missile system’s production progress in the first half of the year. The North Korean leader stressed the importance of meeting this year’s military production plan, which he believes will significantly enhance the military’s war readiness, reported Reuters citing KCNA.
According to KCNA, the missile launchers produced during the first half of the year will be placed at western fire strike units responsible for “important fire strike missions.”
Kim’s inspection of the country’s artillery weapon system and his presence at the test-firing of such weapons occurred just last week.
