North Korea has said it is dealing with an outbreak of an unidentified stomach illness, shortly after Pyongyang admitted that it is battling rising Covid infections.
Leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered quarantines be imposed to try and contain the new illness, which some health experts think could be cholera or typhoid.
The dictator said on Wednesday (June 15) that he had sent medicine to the affected areas to help those struggling with this "acute enteric epidemic".
