North Korea has issued a warning to South Korea, threatening retaliation if Seoul does not stop activists from sending anti-regime leaflets over the border. The statement from Kim Jong Un’s sister described the leaflets and loudspeaker broadcasts as “psychological warfare” and warned of new counteractions from the North.
Seoul’s military reported that North Korea sent trash-carrying balloons over the border, prompting concerns about a potential escalation of tensions between the two countries.
The exchange of leaflets and balloons is part of a long-standing conflict, with South Korea accusing North Korea of violating the armistice agreement. The situation remains tense, with fears of further provocations from Pyongyang.
Despite efforts to improve relations, inter-Korean tensions persist, highlighting the complex and fragile nature of the relationship between the two countries.
