Kim Jong Un Demolishes Winter Palace, Potentially for Military Expansion

The demolition of several buildings at North Korea's Ryokpo Palace may indicate a strategic shift towards enhancing military infrastructure.

Recent satellite images reveal the dismantling of North Korea's Ryokpo Palace, traditionally a symbol of opulence.
Experts suggest the demolished site could be repurposed for military operations, aligning with Kim's modernization agenda.
The move follows North Korea's constitutional amendment naming South Korea as its principal enemy.
This development coincides with increased military testing, including ballistic missiles and nuclear capabilities.
Analysts view the demolition as part of broader efforts to consolidate military power and facilities.
