North Korean leader Kim inspects missile bases, ballistic weapons

SEOUL — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected a strategic missile base, state media said Wednesday, releasing images of him viewing transport and launch vehicles for the country's largest and most powerful intercontinental ballistic weapons.

Kim's tour comes days after South Korea's spy agency said Pyongyang had sent a 'large-scale' troop deployment to Russia to fight against Ukraine, cementing Pyongyang's contentious military alliance with Moscow.
