    KCNA is a news agency owned by DPRK, North Korea. kcna.kp is the domain. It is hosted in Pyongyang. The .kp domain is controlled by the DPRK state.

    Every month or so I check the website because they have photos of DPRK celebrations, agitprop posters, stuff like that. Today I see this article posted and it seems quite odd.

      On the website of the DPRKs embassy in Poland this same article has been published in Polish.

      It's quite the article...

      Are there any other sources of information on DPRK in general you could provide? Most of what i can find seems to boil down to "north korea bad".

        Bruce Cummings book called North Korea: Another Country for a much more level headed picture than you’re likely to get from any other western sources.

      It doesn’t seem all that odd to me. The US has been pushing further and further with its nuclear provocations recently, with the placement of nuclear capable submarines and bombers in occupied Korea for the first time ever. It seems logical that in an existential fight like the one the Korean people are facing against the American empire that steps will be taken to demonstrate that they are capable of defending themselves even against the nuclear annihilation that the US is threatening
