Reports of a suspected shakeup in North Korea’s military leadership were confirmed Monday by state media reports detailing a recent visit by Kim Jong Un to front-line Korean People’s Army units near the disputed Northern Limit Line (NLL). (…) Significantly, in the KCNA report of Kim Jong Un’s visit to the NLL, General Ri Yong Gil was listed as Chief of the Korean People’s Army General Staff, a position held by General Kim Kyok Sik until just over a week ago.
