Marshal Kim Jong Un visited the Phyongchon Revolutionary Site which was successfully remodeled as a ever-lasting treasure for the Songun revolution in December last year, saying that thanks to the historic gun report made by the President at the site the DPRK could emerge a powerful nuclear weapons state ready to detonate A-bomb and H-bomb for self-defence. The Phyongchon Revolutionary Site is like a hometown of Songun army, he added.
