The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un slammed South Korea for failing to stop anti-Pyongyang leaflets flown by a defector group last week, calling it an “intolerable provocation” and warning of “corresponding action.”
Kim Yo-jong made the remarks in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, saying that the South Korean government “again did not stop the reckless acts” and expressed “displeasure” over the matter.
“‘Defectors from the North’ in South Korea recently scattered leaflets against the DPRK again, an intolerable provocation against it,” Kim said in the statement. “However, the South Korean authorities again did not stop the reckless acts of the ‘defectors from the North,’ winking at them.”
DPRK is the acronym of the North’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
“Displeasure cannot be hidden over such sordid acts… We regard the maneuvers committed by the human wastes in the South as a serious provocation against our state and will look into corresponding action,” she said. “We can no longer remain an onlooker.”
She, however, did not elaborate on what the action could be.
Her message comes after a group called the Fighters for a Free North Korea said that they had flown around 500,000 leaflets with 500 booklets and 5,000 $1 bills into North Korea through an unidentified border on 10 balloons even though a ban on sending leaflets across the northern border is in place in the South.
“We have already seriously warned the South Korean authorities of the consequences to be entailed by their wrong act of giving a silent approval to the human scum’s wild moves for the north-south relations,” Kim added.
The anti-leaflet ban was put in place to defuse tensions between the North and South. Seoul’s unification ministry urged people in the South to follow the anti-leaflet ban in order to protect the safety and lives of citizens residing in border areas.
