Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, recently watched a big military exercise. This wasn't just any drill. It involved long-range cruise missiles being launched. The event was reported by the country's official news agency, KCNA. Why is this important? Well, Kim has been very busy lately. He's been showing off North Korea's military and economic progress. This is all leading up to a big meeting of the ruling party in early 2026. At this meeting, they will set plans for the next five years. Kim seemed happy with the missile launch. The missiles flew as planned and hit their targets. He said that testing these things is important. After all, North Korea faces many security threats. He also said that North Korea will keep working on its nuclear combat force.
This isn't the only military activity Kim has been involved in lately. Just last week, he watched the construction of a nuclear-powered submarine. He also saw the test-firing of long-range surface-to-air missiles. And on the same day as the missile launch, he attended the opening of a paper mill. Kim has been busy with more than just military stuff. He's also been opening new factories and hotels. This is all part of North Korea's current five-year plan. They're trying to finish this plan before the big party meeting next year. So, what does all this mean? It shows that North Korea is focusing on both military and economic development. They're preparing for the future, and Kim is making sure everyone knows about it.
