Kim Jong-un has rounded up the engineers and architects behind the deadly collapse of a North Korean apartment block and executed them by firing squad, it is claimed today.
More than 500 people, including high-ranking intelligence and police officials, are thought to have died when the 23-storey building crumbled in the capital, Pyongyang.
Kim, who was pictured touring a glass factory in photographs released today, was reportedly unable to sleep after learning of the tragedy last week, thought to have been caused by poor workmanship.
According to a Japanese newspaper with sources in North Korea, the key officials and engineers behind the building of the apartment complex have been rounded up and handed down deadly or severe punishment.
Four design and construction engineers were executed by firing squad and a military official in charge of the project was sent to a prison camp, a source told the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper.
