Kim Jong-un has ordered the construction of a new DPRK naval base to be accelerated.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the construction site of a new naval base on the east coast on November 11 and demanded that the project be completed within the time frame set by management. According to him, the modern base is of strategic importance for the country's security and the defense of its maritime sovereignty.
Kim Jong Un ordered to supply the complex with modern equipment, expand its capabilities and strengthen its defenses. To speed up the work, he ordered an increase in the number of builders and strengthened control over the progress of the project.
The new facility should become not only a base for ships, but a full-fledged center for control, combat training and development of the DPRK's naval forces. However, the exact location of the base, its technical characteristics and the dates of completion of construction have not yet been revealed.
