South Korea's top presidential aide on foreign affairs is downplaying speculation that North Korean leader Kim Jong-in is gravely ill
Speaking to CNN and Fox News,... Moon Chung-in said Kim is "alive and well," adding he has "been staying in the Wonsan region since April 13th, with no suspicious movements having been detected so far."
U.S. intelligence also sees no sign of unusual military activity that would suggest something out of the norm.
Citing a senior Pentagon official, Newsweek says it has "observed no indications or received any additional information to make a conclusive assessment on the status of North Korean leadership or health of its leader."
It added that "regional militaries in the Western Pacific and Asia, including those of its partner nations remain at readiness levels consistent with historical norms" and the Pentagon "continues to monitor the situation."
