In a square outside Pyongyang's central train station, large crowds of people going to or from their trains watched a television screen for what they were told would be an important news broadcast.
They cheered and clapped as veteran broadcaster Ri Chun Hee, clad in a pink traditional dress, described how supreme leader Kim Jong Un "guided an intermediate-range strategic ballistic rocket-launching drill of the (Korean People's Army) Strategic Force on the spot."
Kim Su Jong watched the broadcast with her classmates, clad in the dark green military-style uniform of the prestigious Kang Ban Sok Revolutionary School, named for the mother of North Korea's founder Kim Il Sung.
"As long as as we have our very capable Korean People's Army and the leadership of Marshall Kim Jong Un, we don't have any enemy we cannot conquer," she told CNN as she and her classmates were en route to Mount Paektu, the highest point on the Korean Peninsula and a mythological site in North Korea -- claimed as the birthplace of Kim Jong Il.
Tak Yong Sok echoed the young woman's confidence in her government.
"I feel very proud of this brilliant achievement," the railway work team leader said. "I'm seeing the launch and feel that our military is improving. I feel very proud to be Korean."
