artillery battalion of the 3rd Corps of the Korean People's Army was

Department and the Information and Publicity Department of the Central
Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) paid a congratulatory

News Agency (KCNA) said in a report.
The officials "warmly
congratulated the service personnel who were honored with the battalion
of master gunners under the blessings of the illustrious commander of Mt
Paektu" ,the report said, referring to the country's sacred Mount
Paekdu.
The KCNA said the unit was given a certificate bearing the congratulatory autograph of leader Kim, reports Yonhap News Agency.
"The
officials of the Party Central Committee read the officers and soldiers
the encouraging letters and listened to the merits the artillerymen
performed in the service days, deepening the blood feelings," it added.
