Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter was seen driving a battle tank during a military drill, in the latest appearance alongside the North Korean dictator.
Images released by state media showed the girl, widely believed to be Kim Ju Ae, seated at the front of the tank and looking out through the driver’s hatch.
She accompanied her father during a large-scale training exercise involving a new type of tank.
According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the drill was designed to demonstrate improved offensive and defensive capabilities, including resistance to drones and anti-tank weapons.

The appearance comes as the regime continues to showcase the young girl at increasingly high-profile military and political events.
She has been seen at missile tests, weapons demonstrations, and major parades in recent months.
Last week, she accompanied Kim during a major weapons test involving twelve 600mm multiple rocket launchers.
State media quoted Kim praising the “great successes and progress in modernizing the tank-building industry.”
He continued:
This new-type main battle tank, a proud fruit of the strategic plan the Party Central Committee worked out and has resolutely pressed ahead with for the second revolution in the armored forces, encapsulates our-style technology of armored weapon system.
Applied to this tank are various special technologies developed for improving its survival rate, and it is equipped with a mobile self-defensive complex capable of reliably destroying such attacking air targets as different kinds of anti-tank guided missiles and UAVs at a high level of precision through a system of detecting threats from all directions.
Therefore, I am sure that no armored weapon with as strong self-defensive capability as that of this tank exists in the world.
Kim Jong Un and his teenage daughter Kim Ju Ae wore matching leather coats at a major military parade, boosting speculation she’s being groomed as his successor.

The two were photographed walking near launch vehicles and observing weapons being fired.
In another recent appearance, she was seen handling a rifle during an event where Kim presented firearms to senior officials.
North Korean state media has referred to her as Kim’s “respected” or “most beloved” child. She is believed to be 13 years old, although her exact birth date remains unknown.
Her growing public role has intensified speculation that she is being positioned as a successor in the regime.
She first appeared publicly in November 2022 and has since become a regular presence alongside her father.
