• A train believed to belong to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been spotted by satellite images at a resort town in the country.
• The Washington-based 38 North, a North Korea monitoring project, reviewed the satellite images and said it was probably Kim's train, though the information remains unconfirmed.
• "The train's presence does not prove the whereabouts of the North Korean leader or indicate anything about his health but it does lend weight to reports that Kim is staying at an elite area on the country's eastern coast," the report said.
• Kim has not been seen in public since April 11, and rumors have swirled that the leader underwent a cardiovascular surgery and is gravely ill.
