North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was on Saturday reported by state media to have visited a number of economic sites in the country's north-western Jagang province, in his first public appearance since the country's test-firing of several missiles on May 7.
The visits saw the DPRK leader tour, among other sites, a machine tool factory, a general precision machine plant, a tractor factory, and a "General Machine Factory" – facilities which have in the past been tied to the country's military-industrial complex.
