How did this fly under the radar?:
What has happened to Kim Yo Jong, the North Korean leader’s influential sister?
That is a question many who watch the cloistered, nuclear-armed country are wondering after she failed to appear in absolute leader Kim Jong Un’s newly released lineup for the country’s powerful Politburo in recent days.
Some say Kim Jong Un may have demoted his sister over general policy failures. Others, however, believe he could be worried about her rapid rise and increasingly high profile as he tries to bolster his domestic authority in the face of growing economic challenges.

In June last year, North Korea launched storm corps (11th corps) and 7th Corps in the north-central border area, and in August it warned that “personnel and beasts entering and invading buffer zones are shot without notice” through a social safety statement.
As such, the North Korean authorities used various measures to prevent the epidemic from infecting the country last year, including actual shootings while using military forces to prevent it from infecting the epidemic.
This continues into the new year. On January 2, residents were captured shooting at a bird flying from China by soldiers in Bocheon County, Yanggang. In particular, there was also a “drama” in which soldiers were killed in the shooting of soldiers who searched the border in search of food.
“Now we’re forcing the people to kill the beast,” the source said, noting that “it’s also inducing a kind of spread of fear that a cat coming from China could be buried with a coronavirus (virus).”
More and more residents are displaying their anger at the unknown ‘singing’ instructions.
“It’s not about killing a cat on the plate where people shoot and kill people,” he says, “it’s not too barbaric instruction.”
