Some weird stuff is going down in North Korea. Well… weirder than usual.
Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, is reportedly under lockdown, which raises the notion that a political coup could be happening in the country (or perhaps the North Koreans know something we don’t).
“This sort of action suggests there has either been an attempted coup or that the authorities there have uncovered some sort of plot against the leadership,” North Korean expert Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Waseda University in Tokyo, told the Telegraph in a story published Friday. “If it is a military-backed coup, then the situation in Pyongyang will be very dangerous, and I have heard reports that Kim [Jong-un] has been moved out of the capital.”
“Another reason might be that some senior officials of the regime have attempted to defect and they are closing the escape routes, such as the airport and the border.”
