North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reappeared in state media on Tuesday after another two-week break, visiting the Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery at midnight to mark the July 27 Korean War armistice anniversary. 

2021 is the 68th anniversary of the armistice agreement signed in 1953 by North Korea, China, and the U.S.-led United Nations Command, which effectively ended large-scale fighting in the three-year war.

The report on Kim’s visit in the party-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun was brief, but Kim reportedly remarked that “the rising generations” are still learning about the meaning of patriotism from war veterans.
