North Korea’s state media on Monday released a video of leader Kim Jong Un visiting the state’s late leader and his father Kim Jong Il’s mausoleum, to commemorate the 7th anniversary of his death.
The North’s state-run television KRT showed President Kim and high-ranking officials visiting the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and bowing toward statues of Kim Jong Il and the state’s founder Kim Il Sung. Kim Jong Il is believed to have died due to medical conditions aggravated by a heart attack on December 17, 2011.
Meanwhile, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned the U.S. administration for stepping up sanctions and pressure on the nuclear-armed country, warning of a return to “exchanges of fire” and that disarming Pyongyang could be blocked forever.
