SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Russian President Vladimir Putin has gifted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a Russian-made car for his personal use in a demonstration of their special relationship, North Koreas state media reported Tuesday.

The report didnt say what kind of vehicle it was or how it was shipped.

But observers said it could violate a U.N. resolution that bans supplying luxury items to North Korea in an attempt to pressure the country to abandon its nuclear weapons.

Kims sister, Kim Yo Jong, and another North Korean official accepted the gift Sunday and she conveyed her brothers thanks to Putin, the Korean Central News Agency said.

Kim Yo Jong said the gift showed the special personal relationship between the leaders, the report said.
