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 threats come with inter-Korean ties at a standstill, despite three summits between the North's Kim Jong Un and the South's President Moon Jae-in in 2018.
North Korea is under multiple layers of US and UN sanctions for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
The North Korean leader last presided over a Central Military Commission meeting in December 2019.
Kim had also wished Xi "good health" and expressed conviction that "the Chinese party and people would cement the successes made so far and steadily expand them and thus win a final victory under the wise guidance of Xi Jinping"
Kim's message sincerely wished the President and people of Russia sure victory in their struggle to build a powerful Russia by carrying forward the tradition of the great victory in the war and to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection.
