North Korea cuts key communication hotline with South Korea
Tensions are on the rise once again as North Korea vows to sever all communication with South Korea; Greg Palkot has an update.
The sister of North Korea leader Kim Jong Un bashed South Korea and has threatened military action after a recent decline in relations.
Kim Yo Jong took aim at the inter-Korean liaison office in the border town of Kaesong, promising a “tragic scene” after she accused Seoul of not doing enough to stop an anti-Pyongyang leaflet campaign, calling the liaison office “useless.” Activists regularly float balloons into North Korea carrying leaflets that criticize the leadership, a move that generally garners a furious response.
“By exercising my power authorized by the supreme leader, our party and the state, I gave an instruction to the arms of the department in charge of the affairs with [the] enemy to decisively carry out the next action,” she said in a statement carried by North Korean's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). "Before long, a tragic scene of the useless North-South joint liaison office completely collapsed would be seen.”
Kim Yo Jong took a harsh stance and called defectors who helped with the leaflet campaign “human scum” and “mongrel dogs.”

In response to North Korea’s anger over the leaflets, South Korea’s government promised to press charges against defector groups that have been carrying out border protests. South Korea also said it would push new laws to ban activists from flying the leaflets across the border, though some worry that President Moon Jae-in is more concerned about a dream of reunification than the safety of his country.
