Civil War breaks out in North Korea as Xi & Putin lose their nuclear ally Kim?

Published on Oct 20, 2026 01:59 pm IST

Unverified rumours claiming North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had died following a severe cerebral haemorrhage have circulated online, alongside allegations of a possible succession crisis in Pyongyang. Wanjun Xie, chairman of the China Democracy Party, claimed Kim died after emergency treatment failed and alleged that Chinese medical experts treated him before he was taken to Beijing for surgery. Xie also claimed that Kim Yo-jong had taken control of North Korea, potentially sidelining Kim’s daughter, Kim Ju-ae. His post further alleged that China had dispatched 9,000 troops to Pyongyang and placed the People’s Liberation Army’s Northern Theater Command on heightened alert amid fears of a potential civil war.
