North Korea appoints new defence minister Jang Jong-nam

North Korea has replaced its hard-line armed forces minister with a relatively unknown general, according to state-run news agency KCNA.

Little is known about Jang Jong-nam, who replaces General Kim Kyok-sik.

Officials in Seoul say his political stance is not known, but he appears to be younger than his predecessor.

They don't think the previous tantrum went so well, so the guy whose idea it was has been sacked?
