South, international community are keeping close tabs on "reckless and cruel" incident, MOU says

South Korea’s Ministry of Unification (MOU) said on Sunday that North Korea was behind the murder of Kim Jong Nam, the now-deceased half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but without providing firm evidence.

The claim came in an emergency news conference held at 1730 KST, a few hours after the Malaysian police hosted a news conference at 1600 KST about the death of Kim Jong Nam.
