WEB DESK: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made headlines recently by allowing his 13-year-old daughter, Kim Jae, to operate a military tank during a significant military drill.
Sources report that Kim Jae has been increasingly visible alongside her father at various public and military events over the past few months, signaling her emerging presence in the regime’s displays of power.
Official photographs released by the Korean Central News Agency depict her seated in the front compartment of the tank, gazing out from the driver’s hatch. This particular scene was captured during a large-scale military exercise attended by Kim Jong-un himself. In the images, he is seen standing beside the tank’s turret, with three military personnel riding inside the vehicle.
The exercise focused on testing a new class of tank equipped with advanced offensive and defensive systems, designed to counter threats such as drones and anti-tank missiles. Kim Jong-un’s participation highlights the regime’s emphasis on modernizing its military capabilities.
