"DPRK leader Kim Jong-un visited a munitions factory capable of producing multiple rocket launchers, calling for increased production of the weapons he described as a 'strategic attack means,' state media KCNA reported. Still images released on Tuesday show Kim Jong-un speaking with officials inside the ammunition facility, inspecting rows of multiple rocket launchers. The visit comes as DPRK leader intensifies military-related inspections ahead of next year's key ruling party congress. "The weapon system, which will be used in large quantities for concentrated attack in military operations, is a super-powerful weapon system as it can annihilate the enemy through sudden, precise strike with high accuracy and devastating power and can also be used as a strategic attack means," media cited Kim. The visit follows a series of recent inspections, with Kim overseeing launches of long-range strategic cruise missiles and touring a missile factory, where he inspected the construction of an 8,700-tonne nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine, in efforts to bolster the country's counter-offensive capabilities and combat readiness. The exact location of the released footage cannot be independently verified."
