North Korean state television has aired its first coverage of the Tokyo Olympic Games - two days after the closing ceremony.
According to local news reports, Korean Central Television aired 70 minutes of a women's football match between the UK and Chile this week.
The match was actually played weeks earlier on 21 July.
North Korea has previously aired the Olympic Games a few days after its opening ceremony, according to Yonhap.
According to specialist site NK News, the women's match was aired without commentary and in low resolution - leaving it unclear how the footage was obtained.
In past years, the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union has offered Pyongyang footage of the games through a partnership with South Korean broadcaster SBS, according to US tech blog North Korea Tech.
