Kim Jong Un, leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), personally supervised the delivery of 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers to frontier troops, state media KCNA announced Monday. The weapons, reportedly designed by Kim himself, are now deployed near the border with the Republic of Korea (ROK).
🚨 Key Developments:
The missile system was test-fired last month, with Pyongyang claiming it strengthens 'defensive capabilities.' However, ROK officials called the move a direct 'threat,' with Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Lee Sung-joon stating the launchers could be used for attacks. Analysts note their proximity to the border suggests shorter-range targets.
👀 Spotlight on Kim Ju Ae:
KCNA photos showed Kim's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, attending the ceremony—her first public appearance since May. Her presence fuels speculation about her growing political role in the DPRK leadership.
As cross-border tensions rise, global observers are closely monitoring responses from Seoul and its allies. Stay tuned for updates.
