News about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's possible demise blew up social media on Monday night when CNN first reported that a source told the network Kim was in "grave danger" after surgery. MSNBC's Katy Tur tweeted (then deleted) Kim is brain dead. South Korea responded that Kim is perfectly fine. What is going on in the hermit kingdom?

A North Korean official indicates that the rogue nation is growing impatient with the U.S. over stalled nuclear talks, warning of "exchange of fire."
Kim Yong Chol said in a statement there has been no progress in U.S.-North Korea relations. He warned that the cordial relationship between dictator Kim Jong Un and President Trump wouldn't be enough to prevent nuclear diplomacy from failing, threatening that "there could be the exchange of fire at any moment."
