North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered the creation of a modernized military capable of handling all types of warfare. During a visit to the Kang Kon Military Academy, he emphasized the need for advanced training, urging soldiers to master high-tech weaponry and real-world combat tactics.
Kim’s directive comes amid reports of North Korean soldiers suffering heavy losses in Ukraine, where over 3,000 troops were killed or wounded while fighting alongside Russia. Observers see the move as a response to battlefield challenges faced by North Korean forces.
