NKorea's Kim unveils, 'drives' new battle tank

(UPDATE) SEOUL: North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un drove a 'new-type main battle tank' while overseeing military training exercises, state media said on Thursday, as Seoul and Washington wrap joint drills to improve deterrence.

Wearing a black leather jacket, Kim saluted the ranks of camouflage-uniformed troops, and watched live-fire 'training march' exercises from a field command post, flanked by top generals, as images published by state media showed.
