N. Korea's Kim sacks close aide as key ruling party committee member

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has apparently sacked one of his close aides as a member of a key committee of the ruling party over what he considers mishandling of the novel coronavirus pandemic, diplomatic sources said Tuesday. Kim's aide, Ri Pyong Chol, has led North Korea's nuclear and missile development. He was removed from the Presidium of the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea at its meeting late last month, the sources said. People walk in Pyongyang on July 6, 2021, wearing a face mask to prevent coronavirus infection.
