North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is advancing the nation's military capabilities, inspecting industrial factories and highlighting the need to expand shell production. During his visit, Kim emphasized that adapting to modern warfare requires a ramp-up in manufacturing output, according to state media KCNA.
Kim's directives included rationalizing the production process and increasing automation to enhance efficiency. These moves are seen as part of a broader strategy to strengthen North Korea's military while consolidating ties with Russia.
