Saying that the situation between North and South Korea is unstable, Kim Yo Jong: Consider resuming border loudspeaker broadcasts

Kim Yo Jong Geum, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said on the 19th that due to the unstable situation between North and South Korea, she is considering resuming amplified broadcasts to South Korea and upgrading the firepower of frontline troops.

"Reuters" reported that Kim Yo Jong issued a statement through North Korea's official KCNA news agency, saying: "The situation on the southern border is now very unstable. Militants from the Republic of Korea military used automatic rifles and large-caliber machine guns to fire warning shots at our soldiers, seriously threatening their personal safety."

The statement pointed out that between August 1 and October 17, South Korean authorities had executed 2,870 amplified warnings and 201 warning shots.

"In response to the current situation, our military leadership is reviewing a number of issues, including deploying more tactical strike tools along the southern border as a pre-emptive and suppressive means of dealing with emergencies, resuming loudspeaker broadcasts to the Republic of Korea, and considering other necessary and appropriate measures," Kim Yo Jong said.

South Korea's Defense Ministry did not immediately comment on North Korea's statement.
