North Korea Demolishes 'Arch of Reunification', Signaling Further Deterioration of Relations with South

Kim Jong Un Declares South Korea 'Principal Enemy', Escalates Military Activities Amid Rising Tensions

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered the demolition of the 'Arch of Reunification', a monument symbolizing potential unification with South Korea.
The move follows Kim's declaration that South Korea is now the 'principal enemy' and his call for the amendment of North Korea's constitution to reflect this new stance.
Kim's recent actions signal a significant deterioration in North-South relations, marking a stark contrast to the period of improved engagement from 2018-2020.
North Korea has also escalated its military activities, including missile tests and threats of 'nuclear war'.
South Korea, in response, has called for immediate and tough responses to North Korea's provocations, with President Yoon Suk Yeol taking a hard line against the North.
