| 2024-07-18 |
| [Newsweak] The head of an elite North Korean military delegation that was deployed to Russia last week has been found dead in Moscow, according to local reports. Kim Geum Chol, president of the Kim Il Sung Military University, is said to have drowned while swimming in the Russian capital, according to the SHOT Telegram channel, a Russian channel that posts updates on the Ukraine war, and the Astra Telegram channel, a project run by independent Russian journalists. Newsweek couldn't independently verify the reports and has contacted Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment by email. Kim and his delegation departed from Pyongyang on July 8, the news agency Yonhap said, on the first public visit by North Korean officials to Russia since Pyongyang and Moscow signed a new strategic partnership agreement in June. The purpose of the delegation's visit is unclear. |
