Kim Jong Un visits Kumsusan Palace, no military present

North Korean leader only accompanied by senior party officials

A photo recently released by state-run media showed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun accompanied only by civilians, in stark contrast to his previous visit.

Kim went to the palace today on the 22nd anniversary of his grandfather's death, with high-officials of Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) only.  No military personnel were visible at the site.
