I don't understand the logic of "showing any special movements." If Kim was really not seriously ill, then they would not be "showing any special movements", rather than "showing any special movements."

How to understand the logic.

------------------------------
“We confirm that Chairman Kim Jong Un is currently touring provincial areas with his close aides and we do not detect evidences to support speculation about his ill health,” South Korea’s presidential office told NBC News.

“Even North Korea’s Worker’s Party, military or cabinet are showing any special movements such as emergency decree. We believe that Chairman Kim is active as normal as he has been,” the office said.


Reuters also reported, citing two government sources, that Kim was not gravely ill.

The quotation is full of errors. It was undoubtedly written by someone with an incomplete command of English.
 
Maybe saying they are not showing any special movements means they are not doing anything extraordinary.
