Kim Jong Un inspected a munitions factory focused on light arms production, testing a new pistol alongside his daughter, Ju Ae. During the visit, he received reports on the pistol's structural performance and combat utility, indicating satisfaction with its development.

He highlighted the importance of modernizing production lines and improving quality standards in ammunition factories. As part of a five-year national defense plan, Kim announced plans for a Central Military Commission meeting next month to discuss the modernization of munitions factories and funding for three key facilities.
