North Korean General Secretary Kim Jong-un inspected military training using drones and other equipment, and instructed to proceed with measures to respond to modern warfare.

Korean media reports that it is believed to be for the purpose of sharing combat experience gained from dispatching troops to Russia within the military.

North Koreas state-run Korean Central Television reported on the 14th that General Secretary Kim Jong Un inspected training conducted by special forces and other military units on the 13th.

In addition to footage of soldiers operating drones, images of snipers hiding in the grass were also broadcast.

General Secretary Kim evaluated the recent training as “being innovatively conducted in various fields to be able to cope with real war,” and instructed that efforts to respond to modern warfare should be advanced.

South Korean media report that the training is intended to share the combat experience of the units North Korea dispatched to Russia, which continues its military invasion of Ukraine, within its own military.

The Rodong Sinmun dated the 14th also published a photograph of President Putin shaking hands with senior North Korean military officials on Russias Victory Day commemorating the end of World War II on the 9th of this month.

President Putin personally expressed his gratitude and offered warm words to the commanders of the North Korean special forces who fought near the Kursk region in western Russia, emphasizing the deepening military relationship between the two countries.
