North Korea's Defence Minister Hyon Yong-chol has been executed for showing disloyalty to leader Kim Jong-un, South Korea's spy agency has told parliament.

MPs were told Mr Hyon was killed on 30 April by anti-aircraft fire in front of an audience of hundreds, the Yonhap news agency reports.

It said Mr Hyon had fallen asleep during an event attended by Kim Jong-un and had not carried out instructions.

The news comes weeks after the reported execution of 15 senior officials.

No small part of American military superiority comes from a completely unique (except maybe for Israel?) culture in which a subordinate officer, NCO, etc. yawning at presentation reflects poorly not on the grunt but on the presenter. I am very proud to be part of a system in which a sergeant’s opinion (or a junior congressman’s) is often publicly more highly valued than a President’s. God Bless America!

A recent defector said that Kim Jung Un is feeling the pressure. That there are some behind the scenes rumors going around that may be questioning the bloodline of the current ‘Dear leader.” Specifically, Un’s mother was from Japan and that this “half breed dog” never even met his grandfather and is not even in a any family photos, as well as he is incompetent on every front... and that the senior North Korean leadership has no idea the direction he is taking them.

Do the Norks have a high ROF rotary AA cannon like our Phalanx? (Perhaps the Russian "Kashtan" CIWS?)

That would be a dramatic, but messy, way to go...

Of the seven pallbearers at former leader Kim Jong-il’s 2011 funeral, apart from Kim Jong-un, all have either been executed, have lost their jobs or have not been seen in some time
