NK leader's sister calls situation at southern border 'very unstable'

Kim Yo-jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, warned on Monday that the situation along the southern border is highly unstable. She revealed that North Korea is considering resuming loudspeaker broadcasts to the border region. This statement follows Pyongyang's repeated denials of responsibility for a land mine explosion that injured two South Korean soldiers last month.

Seoul had attributed the blast to land mines intentionally planted by North Korea. Kim criticized the South Korean military, accusing them of threatening North Korean troops and escalating tensions. She declared that such actions had crossed a critical threshold, referring to it as crossing a "red line." Kim labeled the South Korean military's actions as "reckless" and accused them of "fabricating" the mine explosion, calling it a "fabricated mine explosion farce."
