North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister has condemned South Korea’s “suicidal hysteria” amidst live-fire drills at the border, threatening military retaliation. The warning follows South Korea’s first firing exercises along the tense border since the suspension of a 2018 peace agreement in June.
Accusing South Korea’s government of escalating tensions for political gain, Kim Yo Jong warned of dire consequences. Amidst a delicate situation after joint military exercises by the US, South Korea, and Japan, she emphasized the riskiness of the drills.
Kim Yo Jong hinted at military action if North Korea’s sovereignty is violated, amidst skepticism over recent weapon tests. The region remains tense as historic peace agreements collapse, fueling military posturing and threats.
