Leather-clad Kim shows off his 'excellent' small gun arsenal
Share this @internewscast.com
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his teenage daughter fired pistols during an inspection of a light munitions factory, as he pushes to modernise conventional forces after years of focus on nuclear weapons.
North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said Kim visited a factory producing pistols and other light arms a day earlier and reviewed a new pistol that recently entered production.

After evaluating a weapon at a shooting range, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un deemed it “excellent,” according to reports from state media. Although the report did not explicitly mention Kim’s daughter, accompanying photographs revealed her alongside senior military officials, engaged in firing a pistol.

Last month, state media showcased Kim’s daughter testing a sniper rifle. This event coincided with Kim presenting new weapons to top officials, shortly after a significant ruling party congress where he laid out his primary political and military objectives for the next five years.

The recent visit to the pistol factory came on the heels of an inspection earlier in the week. During this visit, Kim and his daughter observed the test launch of what was described by state media as nuclear-capable cruise missiles from a naval destroyer. Kim emphasized the necessity of accelerating the nuclear armament of the country’s navy.
