North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a uranium enrichment facility and called for new centrifuges to produce more weapons-grade material for nuclear bombs, state media reported on Friday (September 13), Reuters reports.
The report on Kim's visit to the Nuclear Weapons Institute and a production base for weapon-grade nuclear materials was accompanied by still photographs giving a rare glimpse inside North Korea's nuclear program, which is banned under multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions.
The photos showed Kim walking between long rows of metal centrifuges, the machines that enrich uranium. The report did not make clear when the visit occurred nor the facility's location.
State media also released still photographs of Kim overseeing the test launch of a new 600mm multiple launch rocket system and inspecting the training base of the special operation armed force of North Korea's army to guide a combatants drill.
