N. Korean leader celebrates completion of major housing project in Pyongyang

Kim did not deliver a speech in person while warmly waving to the cheering crowds and "wishing them happiness" in the new houses, Yonhap news agency reported.
This comes two days after claiming to have tested a newly developed missile in a resumption of its weapons displays after a six-month lull.
On his new policy on South Korea, Kim said bilateral relations could return to three years ago when a peace mood was created "at any time", but this only depends on Seoul's attitude.
Damage in areas near Pyongyang was also reported, it said but did not mention any casualties.
Kim has been concerned “day and night” about people in Kaesong as they continue their “campaign for checking the spread of the malignant virus”, the report added.
The two zones are sites of long-shuttered joint inter-Korean projects: Southern tourists visited the scenic Mount Kumgang until a North Korean soldier in 2008 shot dead a woman who strayed off the path.
On Tuesday, North Korea blew up an inter-Korean liaison office on its side of the border, after days of increasingly virulent rhetoric from Pyongyang.
The liaison office was opened in September 2018, days before the South's President Moon Jae-in flew to Pyongyang for his third summit with Kim.
Kim Yo Jong said that "the right to taking the next action against the enemy will be entrusted to the General Staff of our army.
"We urge the DPRK to return to diplomacy and cooperation", the spokesperson further added.
