SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter drove an army tank with her father sitting behind her in photos from state news agency KCNA on Friday, with analysts suggesting she may be training to succeed him.
Kim’s daughter, known as Ju Ae and believed to be around 13 years old, has been making increasingly frequent public appearances with her father in recent months.
In the latest photos, she is seen looking out the driver’s hatch with an expression of intent focus and her hair blowing, while her grinning father leans against the turret and three uniformed military officers sit on the hull.
Earlier this month, she was seen at a firing range aiming a rifle, and on a separate occasion was photographed shooting a handgun.
There has been no official confirmation by the North of her name or age.
