(MENAFN) North Korean leader has put his soldier-builders to work on yet another major project, hoping to show the world his nation is doing just fine despite sanctions and outside pressure over its nuclear weapons program.
The massive project consists of a series of apartments and high-rises that are once again changing the Pyongyang skyline, and the soldier-builders are putting up the frames for each new floor at the allegedly breakneck-pace of 14 hours.
The scheme comes as the country is mobilized on its 2nd speed campaign this year and follows the completion of Future Street; a cluster of high-rise apartments and office buildings dedicated to the nation's scientists.
All in all, Pyongyang's new Pyonghattan, officially called "Ryomyong Street," is to have the country's tallest apartment building, at 70 stories, along with a 50-story building and a handful of smaller ones in the 30-40 story range.
