North Korean leader Kim Jong Un asked his officials to ramp up the production of missiles and artillery shells in the coming year and build new factories to meet the needs of the military, state media reported on Friday.
During visits to major munitions factories, Mr Kim inspected the production of ballistic missiles and artillery rockets and approved draft modernisation plans, the state news agency KCNA said. “The country’s missile and shell production sector is of paramount importance in bolstering war deterrent,” Mr Kim said.
