		</div><p>North Korea’s controversial leader Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of his military chief Army General Ri Yong Gil, according to a South Korean news agency.</p>
<p>Ri was executed last week on charges of corruption and pursuing personal gains at around the same time Kim was in a meeting with the military, sources reportedly told Yonhap News Agency.</p>
<p>The military chief was appointed to the post in 2013 and reportedly accompanied Kim on inspection trips until last month.</p>
<p>But last week Ri was absent at events including a military meeting and North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun newspaper did not mention him. Instead, General Ri Myong Su was listed in his place.</p>
<p>The source told the news agency Ri may have objected to Kim’s recent appointment of party leaders to key military posts and added: “Ri Yong Gil is known to have been faithful to principles, so it appears the North cited (the charges) to justify his execution.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although the execution has not been confirmed, it comes less than a year after Kim ordered the execution of defence minister Hyon Yong Chol.</p>
<p>“This shows that Kim Jong Un is very nervous about the armed forces,” the source added. “It also shows his reign of terror continues.”</p>
