Inspection of Military Manoeuvres

Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, First Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army, inspected attack-and-defence manoeuvres between KPA large combined units 526 and 671.

The military exercises were designed to ensure that mechanized troops overcome different sorts of obstacles set up by defensive troops in real war situations so as to check their capacity to advance that has been improved since last year’s drill of the same kind. They were also aimed at taking measures to address the problems arising in advance and obstacle installation in winter conditions and making the whole army bubble with enthusiasm for training as the anti-Japanese guerrillas did on Mt Paektu.

At the observation post Kim Jong Un was briefed on the drill plan and observed the manoeuvres.

He was pleased to see the fiercely waged live-fire drill, and said it was flawless and it is needed for the People’s Army to organize such a drill many times.

He highly appreciated the drill and set forth tasks to be served as guidelines for enhancing military exercises.
