North Korea prepares for military actions in protest of US three-nation summit -S Korea

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for a "drastic boost" of the country's missile production capacity, as South Korea and the United States plan to stage joint military drills later this month. Kim made the remarks during a two-day visit to major factories that produce strategic missiles, rocket launchers and other military weapons. The visit came less than a week after the North Korean leader conducted a "field guidance" of major munitions factories as South Korea and the United States plan to hold their annual Freedom Shield exercise later this month, which Pyongyang has denounced as a rehearsal for an invasion of the North. It also came just days after Kim presided over an enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, calling for preparing for a possible war in an "offensive" manner. #Kimjongun #Northkoreamissileproduction #Northkoreanarmy ~HT.99~PR.153~ED.101~
