North Korea leader Kim Jong-un walking without stick

(BBC) North Korean media have published photos of leader Kim Jong-un walking without a stick at an army meeting, following speculation about his health.

Mr Kim was not seen in public for nearly six weeks before appearing at an event using a walking stick last month.

South Korean intelligence said he had surgery to remove an ankle cyst.

Mr Kim's health has been the subject of much rumour in recent years, with some saying he may be suffering from gout or hip problems.

The latest pictures, which came out in newspaper Rodong Sinmun on Wednesday, show Mr Kim meeting with military commanders.

North Korea agency KCNA said Mr Kim had attended the army meeting on Monday and Tuesday and posed with participants for photographs.

So what, he is walking with 3 legs now? Some type of north Korean surgery allows installation of additional legs, which help support the weight. I heard it reduces fuel consumption too.

The North Korean State Newspaper 'One Voice, One Vision, One Vodka' quoted a cheerful Kim Jong-un: "It's all good now folks, just hobbling along..."
