North Korea Heightens Security for Kim Jong-un

News summary

North Korea has significantly increased security measures for its leader, Kim Jong-un, amid fears of an assassination attempt, as reported by South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS). The NIS revealed that the country is employing communications jamming vehicles and drone detection systems to enhance Kim's safety, coinciding with a rise in his public appearances this year, totaling 110—an increase of 60% from the previous year. Additionally, North Korea has discontinued the use of the 'juche' calendar, which honored Kim Il-sung, in a bid to solidify Kim Jong-un's leadership. The report also noted an elevation in the public role of Kim's daughter, Ju-ae, as evidenced by her appearances alongside influential figures like Kim Yo-jong. These developments underscore the regime's efforts to secure Kim's position as the nation's supreme leader.
