Regime issues new photos showing leader Kim Jong-un inspecting weapons & meeting troops

North Korea has stepped up its war of words with South Korea and the United States. The country has said it is scrapping all non-aggression pacts with South Korea, closing its hotline with Seoul and shutting the two countries' shared border crossing. North Korea has also issued new photos showing its leader Kim Jong-un inspecting military establishments and meeting troops. In this picture, Kim Jong-un talks with officers at a guard post during a visit to the Jangjae Islet Defence Detachment and Mu Islet Hero Defence Detachment on the front line, near the border with South Korea, southwest of Pyongyang.
