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.

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 latest launch by Pyongyang comes as a prolonged hiatus in disarmament talks with the United States drags on.
It comes as North Korea announced it would be holding a session of the Supreme People's Assembly, the country's parliament, on 10 April. Analysts say the meeting will involve almost 700 of the country's leaders in one spot.
"As he ordered the sub-units to start the fire, the men of long-range artillery pieces on the front opened fire all at once,"

Pyongyang would make efforts to find ways to incapacitate such sanctions, rather than waiting for their abolishment, the newspaper further added.
