North Korean leader Kim Jong Un berated top officials for failures in coronavirus prevention that caused a 'great crisis,' using strong language that raised the specter of a mass outbreak in a country that would be scarcely able to handle it.

SEOUL, South Korea: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un berated top officials for failures in coronavirus prevention that caused a 'great crisis,' using strong language that raised the specter of a mass outbreak in a country that would be scarcely able to handle it.

'Cheong Seong-Chang, an analyst at South Korea's private Sejong Institute, expressed a similar view, saying North Korea is potentially dealing with huge virus-related problems in border towns near China, such as Sinuiju or Hyesan. He said the Presidium member Kim Jong Un sacked could possibly be Jo Yong Won, a secretary of the Workers' Party's Central Committee who had been seen as a fast-rising figure in the leadership circle.
