SEOUL, Dec. 21 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has reorganized its military to allocate more resources to the capital Pyongyang, a senior Seoul official said Friday, a move seen as stepping up security for its leader Kim Jong-un as he seeks to strengthen his grip on power.
Seoul's new biennial defense white paper, the first released since the young ruler inherited the impoverished nation after his father Kim Jong-il died about a year ago, said North Korea's 1.2 million-strong forces remained the same, but the number of Army divisions was reduced to 88 from 90 in 2010.
