webfact Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 North Korean army 'fully ready' for action over South Korean propaganda leaflets - KCNA By Hyonhee Shin FILE PHOTO: Park Sang-hak, a North Korean defector and leader of an anti-North Korea civic group, speaks as he prepares to release balloons containing leaflets denouncing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, near the demilitarized zone in Paju, South Korea, May 5, 2018. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's army is ready to take action if defector groups push ahead with their campaign to send propaganda leaflets into North Korea, state media said on Tuesday, in the latest warning of retaliatory measures. The General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) said it has been studying an "action plan" to reenter zones that had been demilitarised under a 2018 inter-Korean pact and "turn the front line into a fortress." "Our army will rapidly and thoroughly implement any decisions and orders of the Party and government," the KPA said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency. Tensions have risen as Pyongyang threatened to sever inter-Korean ties and take retaliatory measures over the leaflets, which carry messages critical of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un including human rights abuses. Seoul's defence ministry called for Pyongyang to abide by the 2018 agreement, in which both sides' militaries vowed to cease "all hostile acts" and dismantled a number of structures along the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone between the two countries. "We're taking the situation seriously," ministry spokeswoman Choi Hyun-soo told a briefing. "Our military is maintaining readiness posture to be able to respond to any situation." Several defector-led groups have regularly sent back flyers, together with food, $1 bills, mini radios and USB sticks containing South Korean dramas and news, usually by balloon over the border or in bottles by river. On Saturday, Kim Yo Jong, the sister of Kim who serves as a senior official of the ruling Workers' Party, said she ordered the military to prepare for unspecified "next action". South Korea plans legal action against two of the defector groups, saying their actions fuel cross-border tensions, pose risks to residents living near the border and cause environmental damage. But the groups say they intend to push ahead with their planned campaign this week. South Korea's President Moon Jae-in urged Pyongyang on Monday to keep peace agreements reached by the two leaders and return to dialogue.

No doubt the air force will blow the balloons out of the sky and submarines torpedo the bottles. Can just imagine the briefing before action " Comrades, due to the wisdom of our beloved leader we have been called into action. Do your duty and defend our beloved homeland. Now get out there and destroy the ******* balloons and bottles, show those southern ******** who's the boss!"

Baerboxer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Interesting it's little sister barking the orders. Is she flexing her muscles and testing if the military are loyal to her rather than big fat brother? If she does intend power grabbing, she must have Beijings blessing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 This reminds me of the rioters and looters, burning down there own stores and such. Whats the big deal, well maybe it was a symbol of something, for someone, but in the end it was in N. Korea and they destroyed a building of theres. Sort of like my first ex-wife taking a baseball bat to her car windows to make a point at being <deleted> off to show me. I just smiled and told her that it was her car, in her name, and she paid insurance for it herself, so I could not care less if she destroyed it. Yes I was making the payments for her by court decree and the divorce order, but not for me to get upset about...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
