Kim reportedly skipped the Politburo meeting on Sunday for the third time in his career, according to N.K. News, a South Korean news outlet.
Long periods of disappearance for the politician raised concerns about his health. Many international media outlets conjectured that the Leader might have a serious illness.
The media has previously talked about Kim Jong-un’s health problems. The longest time he had ever gone without making a public appearance, he took a break from them for nearly 40 days in a similar situation.
Furthermore, Kim Jong Un’s non-appearance at a significant state anniversary celebration on April 15, 2020, aroused serious questions about his health.

He reportedly gave the order to intensify war preparations and battle training.
The supreme Leader reportedly ordered the military to increase the number of battle tanks, artilleries, and other essential equipment to counter its neighboring countries.

The latest technology from North Korea’s burgeoning nuclear and missile development may be displayed during the large-scale military parades, which is alarming the United States and its Asian allies.
North Korea promised to retaliate against any military actions.
According to Fox News, North Korea pledged last week to retaliate against any military acts by the United States of America with the “most overwhelming nuclear force.”
It criticized American intentions to increase joint military drills with South Korea and transfer more advanced military hardware, like bombers and aircraft carriers, to the area.
More than 70 ballistic missiles were also launched by North Korea in 2022, some of which may have been nuclear-capable and aimed at South Korean targets or the US mainland.
It is in response to the Trump administration’s decision to reduce the frequency of joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea.
Additionally, North Korea launched a number of rockets at sites in South Korea and the United States that were meant to simulate nuclear attacks.
