Kim Jong-un Oversees Mortar Firing Drill Ahead of Supreme People's Assembly

Kim Jong-un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea, observed a tactical guided weapon test firing on the 21st of last month, according to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 22nd.

North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un reportedly guided mortar artillery unit firing training ahead of the Supreme People's Assembly, according to Korean Central Broadcasting on the 10th.

The broadcast reported that "Comrade Kim Jong-un guided the mortar artillery unit firing training of the People's Army corps."

The exact date of the artillery firing training was not specified, but given the characteristic one-day delay in North Korean media reports, it is likely that it took place on the 9th.

At the training ground, Director of the General Political Bureau Kim Su-gil and Chief of the General Staff Pak Jong-chon were present to welcome him.

North Korea will hold the 3rd session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang on the 10th.

The Supreme People's Assembly, equivalent to South Korea's regular National Assembly, is the highest sovereign body under the North Korean constitution. It holds regular sessions around April each year to establish basic principles of national policy such as constitutional and legal amendments, appoint key national officials, and approve the budget.
