'No water came out of the showers, faucets were missing and lights were not set up properly,' Kim complained of facilities at a youth center.
North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un has lashed out at senior officials, calling their efforts to maintain and renovate facilities"pathetic."
"No water came out of the showers, faucets were missing and lights were not set up properly," Kim complained, accusing officials of failing to fix the issues because they didn't care. According to the South Korean newspaper, official North Korean daily Rodong Sinmun had also just published an article blasting"anti-party, anti-revolutionary acts," as Kim has reportedly recently purged his government of several top officials.
The reports have not been confirmed and South Korean officials have voiced caution, while the Trump administration has said it is"monitoring the situation." But Kim and his predecessors have been known to punish, and even execute, top officials in the past for actions deemed to be against the ruling party and the country.
