YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"On Tuesday evening, news broke of the execution of North Korean defense chief Hyon Yong Chol, reportedly by anti-aircraft gun.
A new report from Reuters finds Hyon was put to death following charges of treason. He was arrested in April. The North Korean government claims the defense chief fell asleep at a military event attended by leader Kim Jong Un, disobeyed his orders and expressed frustration with the leader.
Several hundred people watched the execution, the National Intelligence Service of South Korea said. Experts believe the 66-year-old chief was shot at the Kanggon Military Training Area, standing 100 feet away from the anti-aircraft gun.
This year alone, Kim has ordered the execution of 15 senior officials. He has had about 70 officials put to death in total, all on claims that they somehow disrespected his authority."
