BREAKING NEWS: North Korea 'blows Up Joint Liaison Office' With South by Nobody: 8:40am On Jun 16, 2020 |
North Korea has blown up its joint liaison office with the South near the border town of Kaesong, South Korean officials say. The move comes just hours after the North renewed threats of military action against the South. The site, which is in the North's territory, was opened in 2018 to help the two Koreas to communicate. The liaison office has been empty since January due to Covid-19 restrictions. Tensions between North and South Korea have been escalating for weeks, prompted by defector groups in the south sending propaganda into the north. The North Korean leader's sister, Kim Yo-jong, threatened to demolish the office in a "tragic scene" in a statement at the weekend. The two states set up the office after talks between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his counterpart from the South, President Moon-Jae-in. South Korea's Unification Ministry in Seoul confirmed that at 2.49pm local time there was an explosion at the liaison office. "North Korea's violent destruction of the liaison office at Kaesong is a symbolic blow to inter-Korean reconciliation and co-operation," said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul. "It's hard to see how such behavior will help the Kim regime get what it wants from the world, but clearly such images will be used for domestic propaganda." North and South Korea are technically still at war because no peace agreement was reached when the Korean War ended in 1953. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53060620 https://www.rt.com/news/491950-north-south-korea-liaison-office/

The South wants to make peace with the North yet they still allow those crazy activists to fly balloons into the North. Very provocative. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Joint liaison office? Well no big deal about that. I believe that's the best they can do. |

Originality007:But they can do well to refuse the activists using their territory to cause disaffection in the north. Imagine a person extending an arm of friendship and still enabling your enemies to launch attack on you. Isn't that risible to the word friendship and peace. |
