In a move aimed at rousing North Korea to an “all-out anti-US struggle”, leader Kim Jong-Un toured a museum dedicated to atrocities by US forces during the Korean War, state media said Tuesday.

Sinchon Museum of United States War Atrocities commemorates what North Korea says was the murder of some 35,000 civilians in Sinchon county by US forces in late 1950, at the start of the Korean War.

"The massacres committed by the US imperialist aggressors in Sinchon showed that they are cannibals seeking pleasure in slaughter," KCNA quoted Kim as saying.

The ruling party's official newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, carried a front-page picture of Kim talking to museum officials in front of a wall displaying pictures of victims and the slogan: "US imperialists massacred 35,383 people".

It was believed to be Kim's first visit to the museum since he took power following the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il, in December 2011.

The visit comes a week after the United Nations adopted a landmark resolution urging the Security Council to refer North Korea's leaders to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.
