North Korean state-run media say the nation's leader Kim Jong Un has climbed a sacred mountain. It's apparently part of a campaign to glorify him following the launch of what appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile last month.
The newspaper of the ruling Korean Workers' Party, Rodong Shinmun, on Saturday carried a picture on its front page showing Kim smiling in front of the caldera lake at the mountain's snow-covered summit. The peak is regarded as sacred in the revolutionary lore of North Korea.
Referring to the first launch of a Hwasong-15 missile on November 29th, the newspaper said Kim was looking back on the country's historic achievement of becoming a nuclear military power.
The newspaper also said the authorities invited scientists and engineers who developed the Hwasong-15 to Pyongyang. It reported many people welcomed their arrival in the capital.
North Korea watchers say the media campaign appears to be aimed at attributing the missile launch to Kim and praising him further.

US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital has drawn criticism at the UN Security Council.
The council held an emergency meeting on Friday following Trump's announcement, which has led to violent clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces.
Britain's UN ambassador Matthew Rycroft said Jerusalem should ultimately be the shared capital of the Israeli and Palestinian states.
French ambassador Francois Delattre said the status of Jerusalem must be determined after a negotiated settlement.
Egypt's ambassador Abdellatif Aboulatta expressed concern over the US decision, which he said could ignite Muslim and Arab peoples and destabilize the Middle East.
US ambassador Nikki Haley brushed aside the criticism. She said final sovereignty in Jerusalem is to be decided on by Israelis and Palestinians in negotiations.
She pledged that the US will remain committed to achieving a lasting peace agreement.
Japan's UN ambassador Koro Bessho welcomed the US pledge to remain committed. But he said Japan is worried that the decision could hurt the environment for promoting a peace process, and it could worsen the situation in the larger Middle East region.

The 2017 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Kazuo Ishiguro, says pursuing the truth through literature and journalism is important in this era of fake news.
He spoke with NHK in the Swedish capital of Stockholm on Friday.
Ishiguro said in regards to the Nobel Prize, there is the understanding that it is important to make discoveries, and that another important dimension to it is how the discoveries are used for humans.
He said for him, literature is very much about sharing human feelings across the barriers and walls that have been created.
Ishiguro expressed concern over populism, which he said has swept through Europe and America. He described it as a reaction against globalization.
He said politicians are trying to garner support by taking advantage of those who have been left behind. He called it a technique that was used in the 1930s by fascists and called for caution.
Ishiguro also expressed alarm over fake news.
He noted propaganda existed in the past. But he said he is concerned that today people tend to stop caring about what is true or false as long as it is useful to express their emotions.
He stressed that it is important to be aware and alert about the manipulation of the truth and news.
Ishiguro revealed that he is focusing on science and technology such as artificial intelligence for his next work.
