North Korea: In view of the increasing possibilities of war, Kim Jong Un has also instructed the army to increase military exercises. The army has been ordered to conduct actual maneuvers.
These instructions were given by Kim Jong Un after the meeting of the Military Commission on 9 August. Kim Jong Un has appointed Ri Yong Gil as the new military chief in place of General Pak Su Il. Ri Yong Gil has previously served as the country’s defense minister.
During the meeting, Kim Jong Un asked the army to mass-produce all its weapons so that there is no shortage during the war. In fact, one of the reasons for Kim Jong Un’s order is military exercises between South Korea and the US.
This military exercise will run from 21 to 24 August. North Korea has also warned about them. During the meeting, Kim Jong Un has also given necessary instructions regarding the preparation of the Military Day Parade to be held on September 9 next month.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un visited arms factories from Thursday to Saturday last week. Among them was also the factory where cruise missiles and aerial weapons are made. During this, the dictator himself was seen firing with a rifle.
Kim also inspected factories producing shells for the Super Large-Caliber Multiple Rocket Launcher and the Transporter-Erector-Launcher. According to KCNA, Kim said that the modernization of small arms is the most important thing to prepare for war.
