North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has conducted large-scale artillery exercises aimed at “completely” incapacitating South Korea’s ability to counterstrike. Meanwhile, Seoul has unveiled “symbolic” new sanctions against Pyongyang.

Artillery units of the Korean People’s Army Front were deployed in the military exercise on Thursday, with long-range artillery divisions at the front line of the training. They were tasked with “hitting military objects and reactionary governments,” North Korea’s KCNA state news agency reported.

Attacks on five border islands and “enemy cities” were simulated, KCNA said, with AFP specifying that both Seoul and Tokyo were “targeted.”

“The earth shook as if an earthquake happened, thunderstorm cried in the sky, and everything was wrapped in dust… on the target island,” KCNA said, reporting on the drills.

Kim Jong-un described the sight as “awesome,” adding: “Once the battle takes place, we will strike the South Korean forces like that, to completely disable the response of the South Koreans to the first strike. Our powerful artillery aimed at the enemies will make a clean sweep of them.”
