Kim Jong-un Hands Out Pistols to Trusted Officers in Honor of Korean War Armistice

| July 29, 2020

This is a very North Korean thing to do while the US and the ROK held a ceremony in commemoration of the Korean War armistice:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gave commemorative pistols to his military leaders on the 67th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, the Korean Central News Agency reported Monday, July 27, 2020.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un handed out commemorative pistols, while the U.S.-led United Nations Command reaffirmed its commitment to seeking a “lasting peace” on the Korean Peninsula as the rival nations Monday marked the 67th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.
