Kim Jong Nam, who was the son of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, but had not lived in the country for several years, was reportedly killed on Monday in Malaysia. According to US media, Washington officials said that Kim Jong Nam could be assassinated by Pyongyang`s security agents.
The news came after North Korea launched a missile in the direction of the Sea of Japan early on Sunday, which led to protests from the country’s closest neighbors, Japan and South Korea, both stating that Pyongyang’s actions were in breach of the UN Security Council resolutions.
