North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Monday visited a military unit on the Changrin islet, located just north of the western sea border with South Korea, APA reports citing Sputnik.
"Comprehensive political and ideological preparation, as well as physical and technical, is essential ... [The drills] have to be close to real combat conditions. So we can be ready for any military operation or mission", Kim said during his visit.
The Changrin islet is located just 45 kilometres (28 miles) away from Seoul-controlled territory. The area has seen several clashes between North and South Korea in the past. In March 2010, the Cheonan warship sank off of South Korea's west coast, claiming the lives of 46 servicemen, with Seoul blaming the tragedy on North Korea.
