News Story: DPRK leader guides artillery drill

PYONGYANG, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- Kim Jong Un, the top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), on Thursday guided an intensive artillery drill, the official KCNA news agency reported Friday.

The drill mobilized artillery subunits of the defense detachments on islets in the Yellow Sea and mid- and long-range artillery subunits, it said.

Kim said that should a war break out, such deadly strike should be inflicted on South Korean forces to thwart their attempt of counteraction at the start and wipe them out.

Kim expressed his satisfaction with the drill, adding that the Workers' Party of Korea has high expectations of the artillery force, which is the military's "iron fist in a war for national reunification."
