North Korea executes five senior officials over ‘false reports’

North Korea has executed five senior security officials for making false reports to leader Kim Jong Un – according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service reportedly told lawmakers in a private briefing that the North Korean Leader had become “enraged” at what he deemed to be false reports.
The victims were said to have worked in the same department as former state security chief Kim Won Hong, who was dismissed last month amid allegations of corruption.
Kim Jong Un has reportedly executed a large number of government officials since taking power in 2011.
