Spy Agency Dismisses Kim Jong-un Death Rumors as False
South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) reported to a parliamentary committee on Friday that social media rumors claiming North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has died are false, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The NIS's assessment was delivered during a closed-door briefing, with sources saying the agency characterized the rumors as unverified and untrue. The denial comes amid heightened cross-border tensions, as Kim Yo-jong, Kim Jong-un's sister, warned Thursday of "new counter means" along the border and said propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts against South Korea would be ready "within days," Yonhap and the Korea Times report. Korean media coverage focuses on the official rebuttal rather than public speculation, with outlets like Yonhap emphasizing the spy agency's firm dismissal of the death claims.
