US source: North Korean leader in grave danger after surgery

(CNN)The US is monitoring intelligence that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, is in grave danger after a surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge.

Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday on April 15, which raised speculation about his well-being. He had been seen four days before that at a government meeting.

Another US official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Kim's health are credible but the severity is hard to assess.

Daily NK, an online newspaper based in South Korea that focuses on North Korea, reports that Kim reportedly received a cardiovascular system procedure on April 12.

Kim Jong Un May Be in ‘Grave Danger’ After Surgery, CNN Reports

(Bloomberg) --

Reports saying Kim Jong Un underwent a medical procedure are fueling new speculation about North Korean leader’s health after his unprecedented absence from events last week marking his grandfather’s birthday.

The U.S. was monitoring intelligence reports that Kim may be in “grave danger after a surgery,” CNN reported, citing a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the matter. The White House declined to comment on the CNN report.

The Daily NK, a Seoul-based website that gathers information from informants inside the isolated nation, separately reported that Kim underwent a “cardiovascular surgical procedure” and was now mostly recovered. It was impossible to immediately verify the report, which the Daily NK said was based on one person inside North Korea.
