Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the DPRK, inspected another firepower strike drill of long-range artillery sub-units of the Korean People’s Army on the front on March 9.

Kim Jong Un set forth battle circumstances to the Chief of the General Staff and watched the drill at the observation post.
When they were ordered to start the fire, the brave artillerymen on the front, who have further whetted the bayonet for the revolution with high spirit to annihilate the enemy amid the flames of the training revolution personally kindled by the Supreme Leader and the wind of hard training for strengthening combat capability, opened fire all at once.
They hit the targets with excellent marksmanship in the presence of the Supreme Leader, fully demonstrating their fighting ability as a-match-for-a-hundred artillerymen.
Expressing great satisfaction with the result of the training, the Supreme Leader spoke highly of the perfect combat readiness of the long-range artillery sub-units on the front.
