Kim Jong Un tours weapons factory as North Korea fires ballistic missiles

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was seen touring a munitions factory, according to state media, as the country continues to test and expand its weapons capabilities. The Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim inspected a tactical guided weapons facility and called for increased production of aerial weapons. Images released by state media show him examining what appear to be short-range tactical guided missiles, typically designed for battlefield use against moving targets such as tanks. The visit comes as North Korea launched ballistic missiles off its east coast, a move that drew renewed international attention amid rising regional tensions.
