North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited key military factories producing sniper rifles and a new rocket system over the weekend, according to state media, an inspection that may target arms experts as the DPRK ramps up weapons trade with Russia.
Kim personally tested one of the rifles produced at one of the unnamed small arms factories and took a few shots at a firing range, the party daily Rodong Sinmun reported on Monday.
