North Korea reshuffles top ranks amid aging leadership
North Korea faced a major leadership reshuffle as veteran figures near old age depart or move to less demanding posts. Gen Choe Hyon is replaced by Gen O Jin U as defense minister while Premier Kim Il was relieved for health reasons and Pak Sung Chul takes the post. Nam Il dies in an unexpected accident, leaving a long-time figure tied to the Korean War and Panmunjom talks.
