In the middle of the 'balloon war', the North Korean leader's sister denounced a 'rude and dirty game'. Relations between the two Koreas are at an all-time low as the North is accused of supplying weapons to Russia

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un again denounced on Sunday July 14, 2024 the sending across the border of balloons filled with leaflets against her brother by the & quot;scum" South Korean, reported North Korea's official agency.

"Despite repeated warnings from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea's official name), the scum of the Republic of Korea (South Korea ) don’stop this rude and dirty game", said Kim Yo Jong, according to KCNA.

"The ROK clans will be tired of suffering unpleasant embarrassment and must be prepared to pay a very high price", she warned.

The army searches "throws into fire and gets rid of garbage"

Kim Yo Jong, one of the most important spokespeople for the North Korean regime, explained that she had been informed that "dirty leaflets and other things" had been found on the territory of North Korea, along the border with the South. The army searches, "throws into fire and gets rid of garbage", she added.

The two neighbors are engaged in a balloon battle with, on the Pyongyang side, shipments of trash towards the South and, on the South Korean side, launches in particular of anti-North propaganda by activists.

North Korea has already flown more than a thousand, claiming it was a response. As a result, Seoul suspended a military agreement in June aimed at reducing tensions and resumed live-fire exercises near the border, in addition to relaunching anti-North propaganda via loudspeakers along the border. .

Relations between the two Koreas are at their lowest point in years, with Pyongyang increasing weapons tests and strengthening its ties with Russia. Seoul and Washington accuse him of delivering weapons to Moscow for its war in Ukraine.
