SEOUL, July 24 (UPI) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called on the military to ramp up combat and artillery training to prepare for "coping with a war anytime and destroying the enemy in every battle without fail," state-run media reported Thursday.
Kim made the remarks while overseeing an artillery firing contest among units of the Korean People's Army on Wednesday, the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The contest called for artillery units to fire at offshore targets after simulating a night march and sudden combat deployment.
Kim "expressed great satisfaction over the contest that was conducted like an actual war," KCNA said.
