Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, together with KPA service personnel, watched a men's volleyball match played between the April 25 Team and the Amnokgang Team on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the Fatherland Liberation War.

The two teams played a good match by fully displaying the technique they have cultivated in their day-to-day training.
