SEOUL : North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for production of missiles and artillery shells to ramp up so the country can secure "overwhelming military power" and be ready for war, state media KCNA said on Monday (Aug 14). Kim gave the order as he visited key munitions factories that produce tactical missiles, missile launch platforms, armoured vehicles and artillery shells on Friday and Saturday. His field inspection was the latest in a string of visits to arms factories, where he ordered mass production of weapons, and came days before South Korea and the US are to begin annual military drills, which Pyongyang sees as a rehearsal for war.
