Death and funeral of Kim Jong-il

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un apparently executed his Defense Minister, according to South Korean intelligence (NIS).

The minister was accused of treason for talking back at the country’s “supreme leader” and for falling asleep at a meeting attended by Kim Jong-un.

A shock visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un's closest aides to South Korea has opened a high-level communication between the two rivals that has been missing for years, analysts said Sunday.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has replaced its "number top" cadre in political hierarchy, Choe Ryong-hae.

In a report on May Day events by North Korea's mouthpiece KCNA it was revealed that Hwang Pyong-so would be the new military politburo chief, according to The South China Morning Post.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has warned of a "very grave" situation on the Korean peninsula, quoted by North Korea's official KCNA agency. 

Earlier this week South and North Korea exchanged artillery fire across the sea  border and Kim threatened a new nuclear test.
