North Korea has undergone a significant reshuffle in its military leadership, according to state media reports. The defense minister, No Kwang-chol, was dismissed and reassigned to a lower-ranking position within the ruling Workers' Party. Kim Song-gi, previously the director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, was appointed as the new defense minister. Additionally, defense adviser Pak Jong-chon received a promotion to vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission and was added to the ruling party’s Political Bureau. These changes were reportedly decided during a meeting led by leader Kim Jong-un, who also praised scientists and researchers involved in defense technology advancements.
