Satellite imagery captured luxury boats used by North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un changing locations near his Wonsan compound, suggesting he may once again be staying there amid COVID-19 concerns.
on May 1, Kim has again left the public eye. North Korea claims zero infections of the new coronavirus disease, but experts and aid organizations have expressed skepticism toward these claims because information coming from the country is carefully controlled.
One video released Thursday in the state-run media outlet DPRK Today showed crowds of masked customers—including some foreigners—at shopping centers in Pyongyang. Another showed citizens commuting, eating out and strolling through the park in an apparent sign that the global crisis had not paralyzed the capital as it did others around the world.
The North Korean Health Ministry also was said to be stockpiling medical supplies and pushing to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Kim also expressed his goodwill to Russia and China in messages to their leaders over the weekend in the battle against the new coronavirus.
