Japanese intelligence sources say North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has received a COVID-19 vaccination from the Chinese government. According to Business Insider, the obese 36-year-old dictator is a heavy smoker. That's fueled speculation that he would experience complications if he were to contract COVID-19. North Korea's propaganda outlets have been quiet about infection rates in the pariah state. While its capital, Pyongyang, reports suspected cases, it has yet to confirm positive cases. It blames a lone defector from South Korea for bringing in the virus.
With China's backing, the UN Security Council slaps new sanctions on North Korea that will restrict oil supplies vital for Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programs. IMAGES
