Kim Jong Un Accelerates Missile Expansion Ahead of China’s Victory Day Parade

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently visited a newly opened missile production facility—reportedly in Jagang Province near the Chinese border—and assessed state missile manufacturing capabilities, indicating that Pyongyang “successfully fulfilled” its five-year expansion target.
In parallel, state media released a dramatic propaganda film showcasing North Korean troops aiding Russian forces in Ukraine.
These actions precede Kim’s first visit to China in six years, timed to coincide with Beijing’s Victory Day military parade—a high-profile display also attended by global leaders including Vladimir Putin.
