After yesterday's North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un was seen after two weeks of absence from the public eye, various reports claimed that the leader had undergone severe surgery and that he seemed to have difficulty walking. In some reports, a photo was also posted showing an infusion wound in the leader's hand. 

Now comes a blanket denial of reports actually being from South Korea's South Korea, South Korea. In a special announcement from the Seoul Presidential Palace, the "Blue House," Kim Jong Un reportedly underwent no surgery and that his medical condition was good. The sweeping denial is surprising given Seoul's past difficulties in obtaining intelligence on what is going on in its isolated northern neighborhood. 

After the world stormed following the disappearance of Kim Jong Un, leader of North Korea, and after the country's official news agency released recent photos of Kim inaugurating a new fertilizer plant in the country, US President Donald Trump welcomed Kim's new photos this night And happy about his good condition.

President Trump shared up-to-date photos of Kim from the inauguration of a new fertilizer plant during the night between Saturday and Sunday and wrote that "I, for example, am pleased to see that he is back, and in good shape!".

In the photos posted, the leader appears to be alongside his sister Kim Hume Jong, who was also reported to be one of his candidates, if he did die. When the two attended the film-cutting ceremony of the factory in Sochun town in the south-central Pyongan district of the state. In the official news agency's report, whose credibility is questioned as long as it was not verified by other sources, Kim alleged that "he expressed satisfaction with working in the factory" and that "the participants burst into high praise for the supreme leader."

Tension at the border between the Koreas 

For the first time in years, the South Korean military reported on Sunday an exchange of fire between North and South Korea in the demilitarized region between the two countries. A brief statement from the South Korean military stated that there were no casualties on the southern side of the border.

The incident began, according to the South Korean military, because a guard post on the south side in the demilitarized area was hit by numerous bullets coming from the northern region. In response, the South Korean military sent a warning signal to the northern army and responded by firing a short response toward North Korea. At this stage, it is unclear whether there were casualties as a result of the shootings in North Korea while the South reported, as mentioned, that there were no casualties in the incident.
