In escalating rhetoric, Pyongyang blames Seoul for drone incursion that brought ‘tense situation to the brink of war’.

North Korea has reported that over a million young people have joined or rejoined the army this week after accusing South Korea of provocative actions. The Korean Central News Agency announced that 1.4 million young individuals signed up to join the army, following an incident involving propaganda drones and blown-up border roads.

The escalating tensions have led to a strong response from both sides, with North Korea warning of wiping out South Korea if a war breaks out. The recent destruction of inter-Korean roads by North Korea has further fueled the conflict, with South Korea condemning the action as “highly abnormal.”

The situation reached a boiling point after North Korea accused Seoul of sending drones over Pyongyang and distributing anti-North Korea propaganda. Despite denials from South Korea, the tensions continue to rise as both nations engage in a war of words and actions.
