North Korea's state media says that leader Kim Jong Il has visited and inspected two military units, amid persistent speculation over his health.

South Korean and US officials suspect that Mr Kim suffered a serious health setback, possibly a stroke, in August.

North Korea denies the speculation and recently released a series of photos and news reports portraying Mr Kim as active and healthy.
