North Korea has unveiled the little-known daughter of its leader Kim Jong Un at a missile launch site – attracting keen attention on a fourth-generation member of the dynastic family that has ruled North Korea for more than seven decades.

The North’s state media said on Saturday Mr Kim had observed the launch of its new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with his wife Ri Sol Ju, their “beloved daughter” and other officials the previous day.
