The Independent: North Korea’s Kim Jong-un orders increase in arms factory capacity for ‘war readiness’, state media reports  

Kim Jong-un calls for rapid expansion in ‘production’ during a visit to a factory producing engines for cruise missiles and drones. 

 North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has asked his country’s key weapons factories to boost their arsenal capacity and perfect the “war readiness” as he toured the facilities producing artillery systems and launchpads for nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, state media reported on Sunday. 

The reclusive leader called for “rapidly expanding production” during his visit to a factory that produces engines for cruise missiles and drones. 

The 39-year-old supreme leader complimented workers of an unspecified factory manufacturing launcher trucks for establishing a “solid foundation” for production but asked for the supply of the vehicles to be ramped up as a top priority for the military, reported North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency.
