North Korea has blown up its joint liaison office with the South near the border town of Kaesong, South Korean officials say.
The site was refurbished in 2018 as a way for the two Koreas to communicate. The move comes just hours after North Korea renewed threats of military action against South Korea, reported BBC.
Tensions between the two sides have been escalating for weeks, prompted by defector groups in the South sending propaganda material across the border. The North Korean leader’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, threatened to demolish the office in a “tragic scene” in a statement at the weekend.
