 Pyongyang just destroyed a massive stockpile of explosives from the Korean War

110 explosives from the Korean War have been found at a Pyongyang apartment construction site, including bombs, shells, landmines, grenades, and other explosives. The devices were discovered and disposed of by specialists from the Pyongyang City Public Security Bureau, according to the state media article on the discovery published on Friday.

The investigation stated that the explosives were rusty but ready to detonate at any time when they were discovered at the housing construction site in the Hwaseong area.

These explosive remnants from the 1950–1953 Korean War are home to residents in both North and South Korea. North Korean teams have received bomb disposal training from specialists from the International Committee of the Red Cross's Weapons Contamination Unit to address the issue.

During the Korean War, US planes dropped many bombs on North Korea. According to American studies, more bombs were dropped in the Pacific region as a whole than during World War II.

These bombings have long been a central theme in North Korean educational programmes and official communications.

Kim Jong Un urges vigorous exercise

State media said on Friday that Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, had directed the military to step up training in anticipation of a "real war" scenario. Kim recently presided over a fire assault exercise, which he said demonstrated the nation's capabilities. On Thursday, the North launched a short-range ballistic missile off its west coast. The news agency of North Korea, KCNA, posted images that showed at least six missiles being launched.

"(Kim) emphasised that fire assault sub-units must be painstakingly organised to the highest standard in order to properly carry out their two strategic duties of preventing conflicts and initiating combat. Take the initiative by consistently honing different virtual weapons as you train for actual combat." said KCNA.

Kim's little daughter was with her and has recently made appearances at notable events.

Yoon Suk Yeol, the president of South Korea, announced that his country would increase military drills with the US in response to these missile testing.

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of Kim, had earlier declared that any attempt to shoot down one of his test rockets would be viewed as an act of war.
