NK leader's sister warns of 'new counter means' at border with S. Korea

Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, warned on Thursday of new counter measures at the border with South Korea. Her sister's statement, carried by the North's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), said these new counter measures would be on alert along the entire southern border within days. The loudspeakers against the Republic of Korea (ROK) will also be prepared in the coming days.

The warning followed another statement by Kim Yo-jong in which she said Pyongyang would resume propaganda broadcasts towards South Korea later in the month. Kim also defended North Korea's efforts to strengthen its border. She stated that the permanent project for the southern border would continue, as per North Korea's objectives, ensuring that the risk of military conflict between North Korea (DPRK) and South Korea (ROK) would be significantly reduced, resolving many complex issues.
