Kim Jong Un Calls for ‘Military Revolution’ to Strengthen Army Units

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a “military revolution,” urging the country’s army units to become elite, self-sufficient fighting forces.

Kim made the appeal during a two-day meeting of unit commanders in Pyongyang, according to a report published Saturday.

His call focused on transforming military units into elite combat formations, placing their fighting capabilities at the centre of the message to commanders.

Self-sufficiency was another key part of the directive, with Kim urging units to strengthen their ability to sustain themselves. The brief account did not specify measures or a timetable for carrying out the changes.
