Other details about his trip were unclear, but Kim's presence raised concerns among local leaders. Yonhap wrote that Seoul’s military chiefs interpreted the visit as “an unusual, undisclosed move” that left them fearing North Korean aggression. The agency also noted that the base at which Kim stopped is situated in the mountains, enabling it to launch surprise attacks better than some other bases.
Kim re-emerged on August 14.
About a week later, on Monday, South Korea and its American partners started their annual Ulchi-Freedom Guardian joint military exercises, which are intended to prepare troops for a North Korean attack.
