North Korean residents take part in a groundbreaking ceremony in Ryonggang County, Nampho, on the North's west coast, on Feb. 9, 2025, for a regional factory and a hospital, in this photo released by the North's official Korean Central News Agency the next day. The construction is part of a project that the North's leader Kim Jong-un set forth in January 2024 to build modernized factories in 20 cities and counties over the next decade to enhance the living standards of the people.
