Bangkok Post
|April 06, 2025
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has test-fired a newly developed sniper rifle, state media said yesterday, as he inspected special forces whose training he said bolstered "actual war capability for guaranteeing victory".

Such units are among the thousands of troops that South Korea's spy agency says Pyongyang has deployed to Russia to support Moscow's war against Ukraine.
During the visit to a special operations unit on Friday, Mr Kim said the "actual war capability for guaranteeing victory in the war field is bolstered up through intensive training", the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported. He added that their training is "the most vivid expression of patriotism and loyalty to the country", according to the agency.
