North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is in 'grave danger' after surgery: Reports
Washington/IBNS: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is in 'grave danger' after a surgery, media reports said on Tuesday.
The US is monitoring intelligence that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, is in grave danger after a surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge, reported by CNN.
US official told CNN on Monday that the concerns about Kim's health are credible but the severity is hard to assess.
Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday on April 15, which raised speculation about his well-being. He had been seen four days before that at a government meeting, reported the American news channel.
Meanwhile, Daily NK, a South Korean internet news outlet specializing in North Korea news, reported that Kim Jong Un recently underwent heart surgery and continues to recuperate from the procedure at a villa outside of Pyongyang.
Reports from a Daily NK source in the country suggest that Kim underwent the surgery at the Hyangsan Hospital on Apr. 12. The hospital is located near Mount Myohyang, in North Pyongan Province, and is exclusively for the use of the Kim family.
Meanwhile, another South Korean news agency said there has been no unusual signs with regard to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's health.
"There are no unusual signs in North Korea," a government official told Yonhap News Agency on condition of anonymity. "It is not a fact."
