Kim Jong Un to investigate espionage linked to failed missile launch: report

Kim Jong Un suspects that a series of failed launches may stem from covert actions by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS), North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity (NKIS) said, citing an unnamed high-profile source familiar with the North Korean situation.
