Here's what a nice guy gets for being nice in NK.

- Lieutenant General Hyon Ju-song was shot dead by a firing squad in Pyongyang
- He is said to have been accused of giving troops extra rations of food and fuel
- High-ranking officer was executed at firing range of Kang Kon Military Academy

Kim Jong-un ordered the public execution of a high-ranking army officer – for giving his troops extra rations of food and fuel.

Lieutenant General Hyon Ju-song was pumped pull of 90 rounds fired by nine military death-row convicts who made up the firing squad.

He was put to death after being found guilty of charges of abusing authority, profiting the enemy and engaging in anti-Party acts.

Reports suggest he was shot at the firing range of the Kang Kon Military Academy located in the Sunan District of the capital Pyongyang.

Online newspaper NK Daily said his 'crime' had been to redistribute extra supplies to his men at a satellite launching station in April.

The high-ranking officer told soldiers to send out the food and fuel as they were no longer tightening their belts to pursue Kim's weapons programme.

The paper said: 'While checking the oil supplies for the Sohae Satellite Launching Station during the comprehensive inspections of wartime supplies on April 10, Hyon stated, "We no longer have to suffer and tighten our belts to make rockets or nuclear weapons".

'This was seen as an abuse of authority and a treasonous statement that opposed the Party's military-first policy.

'He gave instructions to send out 1 ton of fuel, 580 kg of rice, and 750 kg of corn to military officers at the Launching Station and their families.

'This was considered an anti-Party act violating the Ten Principles for the Establishment of the Party's One Ideology System.'

Hyon was held responsible for failing to maintain secrecy regarding the affairs of the Party, military, and government institutions, displaying generosity by distributing unauthorised handouts, and misrepresenting the ideology of the Party.

According to a separate source in Pyongyang who confirmed the incident, leader Kim was irate when he received reports of the incident and ordered the execution of Hyon by firing squad, saying: 'The ideological poisoning that is personal idolization is corrupting the chief personnel in the People's Army. We must nip the bud of ideological poisoning.'
