While U.S. and South Korean warplanes drilled, North Korea's missing supreme leader, Kim Jong Un, reportedly 'received a floral basket from the Russian embassy' to mark his visit to Russia from last year.
The U.S. and South Korea held joint aerial drills Wednesday as their mutual rival, North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un, remains absent from the public eye. Meanwhile, Russia sent flowers to the young ruler amid rumors surrounding his health.
The official Korean Central News Agency reported Thursday that Kim"received a floral basket from the Russian embassy here on the occasion of the first anniversary of his historic visit to the Russian Federation." Kim's trip to Vladivostok last year involved his debut meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and marked the last time the young ruler is believed to have left the Korean Peninsula.
