Kim Jong Un has been photographed firing guns with his teenage daughter as part of a drive by the dictator to modernise North Korea’s military.
Pyongyang propaganda published on Thursday showed the tyrant and his child, Kim Ju Ae, testing a “new-type pistol” during an inspection of a light munitions factory.
He said the factory played “a very important role in increasing the combat efficiency” of North Korea’s army, and hailed the firearm as a “really excellent pistol”, a regime mouthpiece reported.
Mr Kim also called for the facility to expand its production and ordered a new production line be established.
In photos, both the dictator and his daughter could be seen in black leather jackets firing guns, with the girl doing so alongside senior military figures.
The visit comes amid a push to modernise North Korea’s conventional forces after years of focusing on nuclear weapons.
Last month, state media showed Kim Ju Ae testing a sniper rifle as her father presented the weapons to senior regime officials.
