North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw special forces drills on Wednesday and called for supplying the military with new sniper rifles, according to state media, just days after acknowledging deaths by soldiers from similar units fighting in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Thursday that Kim inspected “sniper and special operations unit soldiers organized for special missions,” calling them “hunters who kill enemy soldiers with 100% accurate sniping skills on the battlefield.”
