Port of Cheongjin, Korea under Japanese rule (between 1910 and 1945).

DailyNK reports that four North Korean party officials were murdered in Cheongjin during the public mourning period for Kim Jong-il. The four included two officials from the People's Safety Agency, one from prosecutor's office and one from the provincial National Security Agency. The DailyNK's source in North Hamgyung province: "There was a note found lying next to the body of the executed NSA official which said, ‘Punished in the name of the people.'" The source also confirmed that leaflets criticizing Kim Jong-un were recently scattered around downtown Cheongjin, adding that, "nobody knows yet whether or not the leaflets have any connection to the murders."
