Kim Jong Un 'flees’ North Korean capital to escape coronavirus'
North
Korean leader, Kim Jong Un has reportedly fled his country's capital Pyongyang
for the coast in a bid to escape coronavirus.
An insider in neighboring South Korea revealed
to the Chosun Ilbo newspaper that the Supreme Leader fled Pyongyang for Wonsan,
a beach resort town.
'Intelligence analysis suggests that Kim
Jong-un has been away from Pyongyang for a considerable time,' the source told
Chosun Ilbo. 'This appears to be connected with the coronavirus outbreak.'
This comes after it was revealed that roughly
180 soldiers have died after contracting COVID-19 in the secretive state.
A source in the North’s military leaked the
death-toll to South Korea’s Daily NK newspaper and said that most occurred
close to the border with China. The insider also claimed that a further 3,700
soldiers were under quarantine.
