North Korea has an air base in Wonsan and missiles have also been tested there. “North Korea is conducting a large-scale firing drill in Wonsan areas this afternoon,” the South’s Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. The South Korean military was monitoring the situation and “firmly maintaining readiness”, it said. The South’s Yonhap News Agency said earlier the exercise was possibly supervised by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. South Korea’s envoy, Kim Hong-kyun, said they had also discussed how to get Russia’s help to press North Korea.
