Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, cautioned on Thursday about new defensive measures at the border with South Korea. In a statement released by the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), she said these measures would soon be deployed along the entire southern border and that loudspeakers opposing South Korea, or the ROK, would be ready within days.
Her remarks followed a prior warning that Pyongyang would restart propaganda broadcasts via loudspeakers directed at South Korea later this month. Kim also expressed support for North Korea's efforts to strengthen its border defenses. She affirmed that the permanent border fortification project would proceed as planned and believed it would significantly reduce the risk of military confrontation between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (ROK). She added that such a project would address many intricate issues.
