North Korean military officers are ordering their starving soldiers to steal unripened corn from local farms, according to NK Daily, a Seoul news outlet with sources inside North Korea.

Meanwhile, the reclusive communist regime’s leader, Kim Jung Un, continues to hype all-out war, carrying out another failed test with a missile that flew over Japan several days ago.

People in North Korea are becoming increasingly frustrated with the regime, wondering why resources are funneled into the missile program while the country is famished and food is rationed, NK Daily reported.
