Conflicting reports over North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's health, possible successor

A special train possibly belonging to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been spotted at a resort town in the country, according to satellite images reviewed by a Washington-based North Korea monitoring project, amid conflicting reports about Mr Kim's health and whereabouts.

Speculation about Mr Kim's health first arose due to his absence from the anniversary of the birthday of North Korea's founding father and Mr Kim's grandfather, Kim Il Sung, on 15 April. A third-generation hereditary leader who came to power after his father's death in 2011, Mr Kim has no clear successor in a nuclear-armed country, which could present major international risk.On Thursday, US President Donald Trump downplayed reports that Mr Kim was ill.

A Trump administration official said continuing days of North Korean media silence on Mr Kim's whereabouts had heightened concerns about his condition, and that information remained scant from a country US intelligence has long regarded as a"black box".Daily NK, a Seoul-based website that reports on North Korea, cited one unnamed source in North Korea on Monday as saying that Mr Kim had undergone medical treatment in the resort county of Hyangsan, north of the capital Pyongyang.

Newsis reported Mr Kim may be sheltering from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
