Looks like the coward was hiding out

KCNA news agency reports that the North Korean leader cut the ribbon at the opening of a fertiliser factory.

It adds that people at the factory "broke into thunderous cheers of hurrah" when he appeared.

The reported appearance - his first since a state media event on 12 April - comes amid global speculation over his health.

Mr Kim was accompanied by several senior North Korean officials, including his sister Kim Yo Jong, KCNA added.
