Kim Jong-un has ramped up North Korea’s ballistic missile testing this week, where he was also seen sporting an altogether different look in a striking white outfit complete with a safari-style hat.
Among the flurry of launches this month was a ballistic missile that went over Japan with Tokyo and Seoul officials saying that it had flown up to 4,600 kilometres with a maximum altitude of around 1,000 kilometres.
It immediately received condemnation from global leaders and led to the United States along with South Korea firing test missiles in response with tensions simmering.
