Kim Jong-un fears assassination attempts due to North Korea's involvement in the war in Ukraine and has replaced security officials.

Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, is strengthening his personal security team due to assassination fears, especially after his country's involvement alongside Russia in the war in Ukraine. Recently, he has been seen more frequently in public with his daughter, Ju-ae, which has led to a reassessment of security measures.

South Korea reported that Kim has replaced three high-ranking officials responsible for his security, suggesting an increased concern about possible assassination attempts. Analysts emphasize that his fears have been amplified by the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the U.S., which has reinforced the idea of a possible "decapitation strike" from Washington. Kim has sought equipment capable of jamming communications and detecting drones, in the context of increased risks to his life.
