Kim Jong Un Calls South Korea a Foreign and Hostile Country
The leader of DPRK, Kim Jong Un, has labeled South Korea as a “foreign and hostile country” while emphasizing the need to ramp up war-fighting capabilities. During a visit to the Korean People’s Army, Kim expressed disappointment in the awareness of fellow countrymen and the idea of reunification, stating that South Korea should be considered a separate nation. He highlighted the recent closure of roads and railways to South Korea as a symbolic end to relations with Seoul.
Kim urged the military to stay vigilant and focus on enhancing combat readiness in response to the current security situation. The tension on the Korean Peninsula was further escalated when it was confirmed that all connections to South Korea’s border had been severed through explosion operations. Kim’s bold statements indicate a shift towards a more aggressive stance against South Korea.
This development underscores the volatile nature of inter-Korean relations, with both sides demonstrating a willingness to resort to military force if necessary.
