N. Korea’s Kim Inspects Missiles Factory with Young Daughter

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his young daughter inspected dozens of intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) at a factory near Pyongyang, NK News reported.

A photo released on social media showed Kim and his daughter walking past at least 26 unassembled Hwasong-12 IRBMs inside a large showroom on an unspecified date.

NK News indicated that the image was likely taken at the Thaesong Machine Factory, also known as the Jamjin missile factory located on the western edge of Pyongyang.

State media has not identified Kim’s daughter by name, but South Korea’s intelligence service reportedly mentioned that she is Ju Ae, the daughter that Dennis Rodman first revealed after meeting the North Korean leader in 2013.

Last month, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol emphasized that North Korea's drone infiltration was "unacceptable," calling for developing "overwhelmingly superior" war preparations to ensure peace.

Yoon said: "North Korea's violation of our airspace by drones was a completely unacceptable incident. We must make them realize that provocations come with harsh consequences."

The North Korean president affirmed that the military must become powerful enough to make the enemy tremble with fear.

"Whether our opponent has nuclear weapons or whatever weapon of mass destruction, we must send a clear message to people who habitually carry out provocations, and we must never fear them or hesitate," he said.

He also called for firm punishment and retaliation against "acts violating our freedom," asserting that is the only means to deter provocations.
