The TV station said Kim Jong Un ordered troops to "mercilessly wipe out the enemy with the arms of justice and revenge once they go into action" and to "put spurs to strengthening military might, the sovereign right of the country and nation." Since visiting a tank division Jan. 2 in his first official public activity, the leader has frequently inspected military units and observed drills. On March 3, he visited the truce village of Panmunjom.
In addition, the Rodong Sinmun, the official daily of the Workers` Party confirmed that the North`s 2010 artillery attack on the South`s frontline island of Yeonpyeong was launched under an order from Kim Jong Un. The newspaper carried an article contributed by the head of the International Institute for the Juche (self-reliance) Idea. The article said, "When South Korea made indiscreet military provocations near Yeonpyeong Island in 2010, the enemy was frustrated by leader Kim Jong Un`s extraordinary strategy, and Yeonpyeong Island was turned into a sea of fire." This was the first time for Pyongyang to name who ordered the attack on the island.
