North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong Un is dead. This is according US-based newsoutlet, New York Times.
Accoirding the report, a Hong Kong broadcast network have reported the death of Kim, who rules North Korea with an iron fist, but another report from Japanese magazine claims Kim is in a "vegetative state".
Confirming it, vice director of HKSTV Hong Kong Satellite Television, a Beijing-backed broadcast network in Hong Kong, insisted that Mr Kim was dead citing a “very solid source.” Her post on the Chinese messaging app Weibo has been shared widely on social media.
Other unconfirmed reports, attributed to senior party sources in Beijing, said an operation to insert a stent went wrong because the surgeon’s hands were shaking so badly.
