North Korea says it conducts a “firepower attack drill” involving units of the Korean People’s Army. The claim is issued through North Korea’s state media, including the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), which reports the drill happened on Saturday.
KCNA says the exercise involves combined units “at all levels” of the Korean People’s Army. Different outlets repeat the same basic information from the KCNA report, without providing independent verification or additional operational details.
The reports focus on North Korea’s characterization of the activity as a drill. They do not include confirmed information from other governments, intelligence assessments, or observers regarding the scale, location, or specific targets of the exercise.
