North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un supervised air force drills for the second day in three days as the United States and South Korea postponed their joint exercises to ease denuclearization talks with North Korea, N. Korean media reported on Monday
According to the North Korean news Agency (KCNA), Kim said that it is necessary to wage a drill without notice under the simulated conditions of real war for improving the preparedness of North Korean military units.
Kim watched a “combat flight contest” of the flight commanding officers of the Air and Anti-Aircraft Force, the KCNA said.
The US and South Korea on Sunday decided to postpone upcoming military drills in an effort to bolster stalled peace efforts with North Korea, but Washington denied the move amounted to another concession to Pyongyang.
