North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, and a military marshal recently inspected border fortification work near the border shared with South Korea, according to official news reports. Just a day prior, Pak Jong-chon, an advisor to the North's Ministry of National Defense, conducted a similar inspection, reviewing progress on a project aimed at reinforcing the border defenses.
During their visit, Pak expressed disappointment in the enemy's "deliberate, premeditated and absurd" claims that North Korean soldiers had crossed into their territory. He emphasized that his troops possess superior knowledge of the border and are diligently working to transform it into an impregnable fortress. Pak urged his soldiers to take immediate and decisive action against any threat posed by enemy forces to the safety of North Korean personnel.
Kim Yo-jong, who serves as a department director at the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea, confirmed that her brother had issued a directive for the fortification of the border with an enemy nation.
