North Korea: Kim's Sister threatens to End Military Pact over Leaflets
North Korea warned that it would end a 2018 inter-Korean military agreement if the South fails to stop defectors and activists from sending anti-Pyongyang leaflets into the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating the two countries, Deutsche Welle reports.
The warning was issued on Thursday by the North Korean leader's sister, Kim Yo Jong, who unofficially serves as Kim Jong Un's chief of staff.
She said the military pact reached in 2018 was "hardly of any value.”
Kim Yo Jong also said the North could permanently shut a liaison office with the South and an inter-Korean industrial park in the border town of Kaesong — both have represented reconciliation between the rivals.
The statement was in reference to thousands of "anti-DPRK leaflets" that were recently thrown towards the North side of the DMZ.
