Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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".

Thanks a lot. Randomly clicked a link to anti-imperialism.org which redirected to historic cornwall :) PS they moved to https://antiimperialism.wordpress.com apparently
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
