China Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Kim Jong Un just revealed his daughter to the world in photos of North Korea's latest launch of a massive missile North Korean leader Kim Jong Un unveiled his daughter to the world in new images released on Friday that showed him strolling around with a young girl as the rogue state tested the massive Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile. North Korean state media outlet KCNA said that Kim was at the launch with his "beloved daughter and wife." As North Korea expert Ankit Panda noted on Twitter, "we've never seen his daughter" in public until now. Kim, who is thought to have three children, is famously secretive when it comes to his family. Former NBA player Dennis Rodman, who cultivated a relationship with the North Korean dictator, revealed in 2013 that Kim had a daughter named Kim Ju-ae. She is believed to be somewhere around 10 years old. It is unclear if Kim Ju-ae is the girl in the new photos from Thursday's missile launch.

China Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 North Korea's Kim sacks No. 2 military official North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has sacked the second most powerful military official after him according to state media. Pak Jong Chon was the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party and a secretary of the party's Central Committee. He has been replaced by Ri Yong Gil at the committee's annual meeting last week, the official KCNA news agency said on Sunday. No reason for the change was given. Pyongyang regularly revamps its leadership and the year-end party gathering has often been used to announce personnel reshuffles and major policy decisions. The party's Central Military Commission, which is headed by Kim, is considered the country' most powerful military decision-making body, above the defence ministry.

China Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 North Korea locks down capital Pyongyang over respiratory illness Authorities in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, have ordered a five-day lockdown due to rising cases of an unspecified respiratory illness, Seoul-based NK News reported on Wednesday, citing a government notice. The notice did not mention Covid-19, but said that residents in the city were required to stay in their homes until the end of Sunday and submit to temperature checks multiple times each day, according to NK News, which monitors North Korea. On Tuesday, the website reported that Pyongyang residents appeared to be stocking up on goods in anticipation of stricter measures. It was unclear if other areas of North Korea had imposed new lockdowns. North Korea acknowledged its first Covid-19 outbreak in 2022 but by August had declared victory over the virus. The secretive regime never confirmed how many people caught Covid, apparently because it lacks the means to conduct widespread testing. Instead it reported daily numbers of patients with fever, a tally that rose to 4.77 million out of a population of about 25 million. But it has not reported such cases since 29 July.

China Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Kim Jong Un missing for 35 days as Politburo meets to discuss food problems North Korean leader Kim Jong Un skipped his third Politburo meeting in the last year on Sunday, according to state media, as top officials reportedly discussed the country’s chronic agricultural problems. Monday marks the 35th day without a new public appearance by Kim in state media, tying his second-longest ever break. It comes as soldiers and civilians train outdoors daily in freezing temperatures as part of intense preparations for a military parade set to take place this week. The Politburo meeting, led by Kim’s right-hand man Jo Yong Won, ended with a decision to hold a larger plenary meeting (plenum) “in late February,” the Rodong Sinmun reported Monday. The report did not specify a date for the plenum, but said it will “sum up the last year’s struggle for implementing the program of rural revolution in the new era and discuss the problem of pressing farming and the prospective targets for agricultural development.” “A turning point is necessary to powerfully promote a fundamental change in agricultural development,” it added, without mentioning any other agenda items for the plenum. North Korea has historically struggled with food shortages, but authorities signaled growing problems in a rare admission of a domestic “food crisis” in June 2021.

China Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 North Korea reduces soldier food rations for first time in decades, South says North Korea has reduced food rations to its soldiers for the first time in more than two decades as the Hermit Kingdom descends into a possible food crisis, officials said this week. South Korea’s unification ministry, which oversees relations with their northern neighbors, said North Korea’s food situation "seems to have deteriorated." The ministry noted a Feb. 6 report from North Korea’s state news agency KCNA about plans for an "urgent" ruling party meeting on agriculture. Such special meetings are rare, according to the South’s ministry. Meanwhile, DongA Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper, reported Wednesday that the North has reduced daily food rations to its soldiers for the first time since 2000.

Banning Girls From Having The Same Name As His Daughter Authorities in North Korea are reportedly forcing girls and women who share the same name as Kim Jong Un's daughter, to change their identities to something else, Fox News reported. The Supreme leader's daughter's name is Ju Ae and she's believed to be around nine to 10 years old. This latest diktat is seen as part of the regime's effort to isolate the young girl from the rest and build an air of mystique around her. Click on the link for the full article and... Launching new ICBM military unit amid troop refurbishment North Korea may have launched a military unit tasked with operating new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in line with its recent restructuring of the military, state media video footage suggested. During a nighttime parade last week, North Korea showcased multiple ICBMs that are large enough to strike nearly anywhere in the world. The missiles included what some analysts said could be a prototype or mockup of a new solid-fuel ICBM in canister launchers.

China Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 N. Korea Continues Its War Against the Sea North Korea fired off two short-range ballistic missiles on Monday morning, Tokyo said, as the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un threatened to turn the Pacific into a “firing range,” two days after the nation sent a long-range weapon into waters off Hokkaido. Both missiles were believed to have splashed down in the Sea of Japan, outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone, after traveling some 400 km and 350 km, respectively, from North Korea’s western coast, the Defense Ministry said. North Korean state media later confirmed the country had fired two projectiles from a super-large multiple rocket launcher as a means of “tactical nuclear attack” that it said could “reduce to ashes the enemy’s operational airfield,” the official Korean Central News Agency said.

China Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 North Korea claims almost 800,000 have signed up to fight against US North Korea claims that about 800,000 of its citizens volunteered to join or reenlist in the nation's military to fight against the United States, North Korea's state newspaper reported on Saturday. About 800,000 students and workers, on Friday alone, across the country expressed a desire to enlist or reenlist in the military to counter the United States, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper reported. "The soaring enthusiasm of young people to join the army is a demonstration of the unshakeable will of the younger generation to mercilessly wipe out the war maniacs making last-ditch efforts to eliminate our precious socialist country, and achieve the great cause of national reunification without fail and a clear manifestation of their ardent patriotism," the North's Rodong Sinmun said.
