North Korea's Kim calls for 'military revolution' as he urges stronger army units

- On Saturday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called for the KPA to build the 'strongest army' during a two-day meeting of Company Leaders in Pyongyang that concluded Friday, state media KCNA reported.
- The gathering marked the first Army-wide event since the Ninth Congress of the Workers Party in Korea, where Kim had called for stronger conventional forces and reaffirmed nuclear weapons development plans.
