The soldiers of the Korean People’s Army are reportedly mobilized to aid agricultural workers after they complete their winter training in early April, but there is a chance they will first demonstrate their capabilities before they head off to the fields.
“North Korean troops will [likely] stage a large-scale exercise to wrap up the winter training at an on-site inspection of leader Kim Jong-un,” Kim Dong-yup, a professor at the Institute for Far East Studies at Kyungnam University, told reporters. “It’s expected to fire various types of missiles this time.”
Military officials are also concerned that the North may decide test its weaponry to mark the 105th anniversary of DPRK founder Kim Il-sung’s birthday April 15, or alternatively, the 85th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean People’s Army April 25…
