'Defiant message' as North Korea's Kim Jong Un rides white horse on sacred mountain
SEOUL - Aides to Kim Jong Un are convinced the North Korean leader plans “a great operation”, state media said on Wednesday in a report that included lavish descriptions and images of the leader riding a white horse up North Korea’s most sacred mountain.
“His march on horseback in Mt Paektu is a great event of weighty importance in the history of the Korean revolution,” KCNA said. Analysts say the symbolism underscores North Korea standing up to international sanctions and pressure over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes. Last year, Kim took South Korean President Moon Jae-in to the top of the mountain as part of a historic summit.
