NORTH KOREA: Per Yonhap: "Speculation about North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's
health is nothing more than "empty rumors" and the communist neighbor is
functioning normally with the leader making major decisions, Russia's ambassador
in Pyongyang said. Ambassador Alexander Matsegora also said in an interview with
Russia's TASS news agency Monday that there is no reason to believe that the
North Korean leader's younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, is being trained as the next
leader of the communist nation. Matsegora also said that the North expressed
"serious outrage" over anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets flown from South Korea
because recently sent leaflets "bore a special kind of dirty, insulting
propaganda, aimed at the leader's spouse."
