A luxury apartment was offered by the leader Kim Jong Un to a television news presenter who has been present on North Korean television screens for more than half a century, state media reported today.

Pictures in the state media show 70-year-old Ri with Kim Jong Un in an apartment complex on the river bank in the capital Pyongyang.

Young Kim “started” the plan to donate these homes to those “who contributed to the country’s prosperity and development,” according to the KCNA.
US and South Korean officials have warned that North Korea may be preparing for a new nuclear test on the anniversary.
Pyongyang traditionally marks the anniversaries of the country’s leading figures with military parades, major weapons tests or satellite launches.
This year, North Korea launched a series of missile tests, which culminated last month with the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile that could carry a nuclear warhead to the eastern United States.
