North Korea's Aggression Towards South Korea Escalates

Kim Jong Un Declares South Korea as 'Principal Enemy', Abolishes Reunification Agencies, and Threatens War

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared South Korea as his country's 'principal enemy', abolished agencies dedicated to reunification, and threatened war over territorial infringement.
Kim Jong Un has declared he will no longer recognize the maritime border between the two Koreas, known as the Northern Limit Line, and his military recently staged live-fire artillery drills in the area.
North Korea has been drawing closer to Moscow, including sending missiles for Russia's war in Ukraine in exchange for help with their satellite program.
South Korea has threatened a 'multiple times stronger' response to any provocation.
Experts suggest that Kim Jong Un's aggressive stance is a strategy to gain leverage before eventual negotiations with America.
