Kim Jong-un was recently pictured touring his space agency with a phalanx of bodyguards carrying briefcases. Now, sources within North Korea have revealed that the capital was rocked by a bomb attack within the past two months. It is not known who the target was, though it may have been a high-ranking official, and locals have reported that there were casualties.
Michael Madden, a leading expert on the North Korean elite, has commented on the situation. He noted that Kim Jong-un has tightened his security with the addition of the briefcases, which are known as ballistic bags. These bags are bulletproof and can protect against tasers and other ordnance. Furthermore, they can be unfolded into a fabric shield to protect the leader if needed.
The analyst also pointed to the regular public appearances of senior regime figures decreasing, and added that the Prime Minister of Japan had survived an assassination attempt around the same time as Kim Jong-un's visit to his space agency.
When asked about the explosion, South Korea’s spy agency said that they were tracking related situations, but could not confirm the incident. The newspaper The Dong-a Ilbo speculated that the attack may have been motivated by anger at the country’s worsening food crisis and the threat of starvation. Alternatively, Michael Madden suggests it could have been an attempt to steal food.
