In a startling turn of events, the top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Jong Un, has declared South Korea a \"foreign country and an apparent hostile country\" 😱. This bold statement came during his visit to the 2nd Corps of the Korean People's Army on Thursday, as reported by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Friday.
Kim Jong Un, known for his fiery rhetoric, didn't hold back as he addressed the troops at the forefront near the border. He praised the soldiers for \"reliably defending the territory of our state\" and emphasized the need to ramp up war-fighting capabilities 🚀.
During his inspection, Kim was briefed on the combat readiness of the military units ready for operations. He took this opportunity to stress the \"stark fact that the ROK is a foreign country and an apparent hostile country,\" referring to South Korea by its official name, the Republic of Korea 🇰🇷.
In a move that escalates tensions, Kim reminded everyone that the DPRK had \"completely blocked the roads and railways to the ROK territory two days ago through detonations\" 💥. He stated this was not just a physical closure but also \"the end of the evil relationship with Seoul\" and a \"complete removal of the useless awareness about fellow countrymen and unreasonable idea of reunification.\"
Kim warned that if the DPRK's sovereignty is violated by the ROK, \"its physical forces will be used unhesitatingly, without sticking to any conditions any longer.\" Talk about serious threats! 😬
Given the \"serious security circumstances,\" Kim urged the military to \"continue concentrating all efforts on bolstering up the war-fighting capabilities\" and to take steps for \"reliably defending the security of the country through the permanent overwhelming combat readiness\" 🛡️.
This development is the latest sign of heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The DPRK confirmed on Thursday that it had completely blocked all roads and railways connecting South Korea in the eastern and western parts of its southern border through explosion operations, according to KCNA reports 🚧.
As the world watches this unfolding drama 🎭, the question remains: what will happen next on the Korean Peninsula? Stay tuned for more updates! 📰
