In order to discover 653 missing bullets, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has placed the city of Hyesan, which is home to over 200,000 people, under lockdown. The bullets reportedly vanished after a military pullout, causing the North Korean leader to ask authorities to examine the city, according to Radio Free Asia.
The city of Ryanggang, where Hyesan is situated, will continue to be under lockdown until all the bullets have been discovered, according to locals. According to reports, the missing ammunition vanished on March 7 during a military retreat that took place between February 25 and March 10.
Reports allege that during the evacuation procedure, troops recognised they had misplaced the rounds and sought to retrieve them themselves before telling authorities. As it became clear that they couldn't find the bullets, they alerted the police, who then put the city on lockdown.
According to sources, after realising they had misplaced the ammunition during the evacuation, the troops made an effort to retrieve them on their own before alerting the authorities. As it became clear that they couldn't find the bullets, they alerted the police, who then put the city on lockdown.
This information was released after Kim Jong Un urged for an increase in the manufacture of nuclear materials suitable for use in bombs to boost the nation's nuclear stockpile. He also emphasised that the guns should always be ready to use.
The military used two ground-to-ground tactical ballistic missiles to simulate a nuclear air blast strike during Monday's shooting practise, according to KCNA, the state-run media source. A defence think tank also tested strategic undersea weapons systems.
North Korea has several peculiar laws
- With the strict regulations applied to its residents, it is not surprise that the North is regarded as the world's most isolated nation. The government denies its citizens' fundamental rights and implements bizarre totalitarian laws.
- People can be arrested for watching foreign movies, listening to foreign music or making international calls. They can only get haircuts that have been authorised by the authorities. However, one rule in North Korea stands out in particular.
- If you fall asleep during a meeting with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, it is considered an act of disloyalty to the regime, which can result in severe consequences, including the death penalty. In 2015, the North Korean Defence Minister, Hyon Yong-chol, was executed in front of a hundred people by anti-aircraft fire.
