North Korea leader Kim Jong-un 'suffered fever' during Covid outbreak, says sister

North Korea's Kim Jong-un suffered from "fever" during the Covid pandemic, his sister has said - in what appears to be the first suggestion he had the virus.

Kim Yo-jong also blamed South Korea for her country's outbreak - saying it sent leaflets contaminated with Covid across the border. South Korea rejected the claims as "groundless".
