 North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited Air Force headquarters and called for the military's readiness to respond to any provocation by enemies, state media said on December 1 in photographs released by KCNA news agency, Kim and his daughter were seen visiting the Air Force headquarters to mark the country's air mandate on November 30, involving a stop at a fighter wing where the pilots staged an air show. Kim also rolled out operational strategic guidelines to improve the military's readiness. In war capabilities, KCNA said North Korea last week successfully launched its first reconnaissance satellite, which it has said was designed to monitor U.S. and South Korean military movements amid vows to deploy stronger armed forces and new weapons on its border with the South.
