 North Korea's state-run television KRT on March 10 released photographs of the country's leader Kim Jong-un watching a fire assault drill before he ordered the military to intensify drills for a real war. Pyongyang fired a short-range ballistic missile off its west coast on March 9. South Korea's military said, adding that it was analyzing possibilities the North may have launched multiple missiles simultaneously from the same area. Photographs released by KRT showed at least six missiles being fired at the same time. Kim was accompanied by his young daughter who has appeared recently in a series of major events. The latest missile launches came as the United States and South Korea prepared to kick off large-scale military exercises known as the Freedom Shield drills next week.
