North Korea leader Kim Jong Un gives field guidance at major arms factories

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gave field guidance at major weapons factories between Thursday and Saturday including production lines of engines for strategic cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, KCNA state news agency said on Sunday.
Kim also inspected factories producing shells for super large-calibre multiple rocket launchers and transporter-erector-launchers, which are normally used to fire ballistic missiles, KCNA reported.
He gave instructions for increasing production capacities at the factories as an important part of bolstering the country’s defence capabilities, KCNA said.
North Korea has been stepping up the development of strategic weapons including long-range ballistic missiles and drones, displaying its newest nuclear-capable missiles and attack and spy drones at a major military parade in late July.
