PYONGYANG: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Thursday appeared in public for the first time since the death of his estranged half-brother Kim Jong-nam in Malaysia earlier this week.
A photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), and obtained by Reuters on Thursday, pictured Kim Jong-un looking sombre as he visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in Pyongyang on the birth anniversary of the late Kim Jong-il, father to the current leader and his exiled brother who was killed in Malaysia on Monday.
