North Korea's Kim, out in public again, calls for increasing nation's nuclear capabilities

SEOUL – After another weekslong absence from public view, North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, convened the country's top military governing body, outlining "new policies for further increasing" its nuclear capabilities and promoting top weapons officials, the North's state-run media said Sunday.

Kim's attendance at the meeting was his first public activity reported by North Korean media in three weeks. A weekslong absence from public view last month prompted rumors that he might have health problems, and his absence again this month sparked similar rumors.
