A Russian envoy to North Korea said Kim Jong Un was outraged by allegedly insulting depictions of his wife in leaflets that were launched into the communist country by defectors in recent days.

The impoverished, communist country has become increasingly belligerent earlier this month, blowing up a liaison office shared between the North and the South. Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, also sent out a series of threats to Seoul after the leaflets were dropped in Noth Korea.
