N. Korea has executed its defence chief on treason charges, Seoul's National Intelligence Service was quoted as telling lawmakers, in the latest of a series of high-level purges since Kim Jong Un took power after his father's death in 2011.
Hyon Yong Chol, who heads the isolated country's military, was purged and then executed by firing squad with an antiaircraft gun, watched by hundreds of people, South Korean media reported on Wednesday, citing the NIS's comments to a parliamentary panel.
Hyon, who spoke at a security conference in Moscow in April, was said to have shown disrespect to Kim by dozing off at a military event, media said, citing the agency briefing.
The execution comes after South Korea's spy agency said late last month that Kim ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year as punishment for challenging his authority.

I think using an anti-aircraft gun on a person is against the Geneva Convention.
Well...at least it was “quick.”
"Would you like to have a sixteen-ton-weight dropped on top of you?"
It was probably one of those equal opportunity seminars they make us go to quarterly. Theirs are probably worse as they are communists and more equal.
“I think using an anti-aircraft gun on a person is against the Geneva Convention.”
Likewise using an aircraft gun on a person.
A guy in my my platoon fell asleep on guard duty at the entrance to the Pentagon from the executive parking garage and was awakened by SecDef McNamara 50+ years ago. He only got busted one grade and spent the remainder of his time on KP ‘till his ETS.
rofl. lol.
Among other things!
16” battleship Guns are frowned upon too in these instances.
"Ha ha! I fool you! I wear Kevlar vest!"
So many parallels with the impostor in our White House.
Shows a certain amount of imagination. There would be much less to bury, or cremate, or feed to the hogs.
I keep thinking that the Norks deserve greater study for outside-the-box thinking...
Consider. When was the last time a SecDef fell asleep and was blown to bits for it with a flak gun?
Well, he won’t make that mistake again.
Probably a Shilka. Bet it looked like the scene in the original Robocop where ED-209 engaged the company conference room threat.
I think this may be a “FIRST”
"Chewing gum on line, eh?"
as the price of NoDOz stock just shoot up 50% in overnight trading?
