Images of Kim Jong Un’s train appear amid speculation about his health

A train which probably belongs to the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un He has been stationed at his complex on the east coast of the country since last week, according to what they showed. satellite imagery, between speculation about his health due in part to the time it takes without appearing in public.

Satellite images published by 38 North, a website specializing in studies on North Korea, do not provide information on Kim’s potential health problems, and agree with information from the South Korean government that Kim is staying outside the capital, Pyongyang.

Seoul has also indicated that there is no indication of unusual activity pointing to Kim’s health problems.

That has not slowed the growing unconfirmed rumors and media reports about the health of the North Korean leader since he lost the commemoration on April 15 on the 108th birthday of his grandfather, the founder of North Korea, Kim Il Sung.

Kim Jong Un is the third generation of his family to rule North Korea and he had not missed the act on April 14, one of the most important in the country, since he took office after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il , in late 2011.

Kim’s health is of crucial importance because of concerns that the serious illness or death of a leader revered almost like a divinity by millions of North Koreans could cause instability in the impoverished country, which has nuclear weapons.

Many experts in South Korea played down speculation that Kim is seriously ill.

They also noted that immediate incidents were unlikely in the country, even if Kim is disabled or dies, because someone else, like her influential sister, Kim Yoo Jong, would take over quickly, even if the long-term political perspective was unclear.

Kim Jong Un Park has been at the Lideres train station, which has serviced its complex in Wonsan, at least since April 21, 38 North said Saturday, citing an analysis of recent images of the site.

The machine, approximately 250 meters long, was not there on April 15, but it was on April 21 and 23, the website noted. “The train’s presence does not demonstrate the whereabouts of the North Korean leader or indicate anything about his health, but it does support reports that Kim is staying in an exclusive area on the country’s east coast.”he indicated.

North Korea exercises strict control over information about its leaders, making it almost impossible for foreigners to determine what is going on at the top of power.

Even South Korea’s top intelligence agency has a mixed record confirming news in North Korea. For example, when Kim Jong Il passed away in December 2011, few foreigners knew about it before it was reported by North Korean state media two days later.
