North Korean authorities have launched a new service to transport kids to school by boat at several locations around the country, state media reported Tuesday, including at a lake where Kim Jong Un recently oversaw an underwater test launch of a ballistic missile.
The new “Mother” commuter boats will be used in remote mountain villages in four counties after leader Kim Jong Un sought a solution for students facing difficulties getting to school, according to a report in DPRK Today.
