North Korea leader Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo-jong landed in South Korea as part a high-level delegation for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
The Ilyushin-62 aircraft, marked in Korean script “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”, the North’s official name, and its tailfin emblazoned with a Northern emblem, touched down at Incheon airport near Seoul.
