🇰🇵🇰🇷 North Korea has threatened to deploy new military countermeasures along its border with South Korea, raising tensions after a landmine explosion injured three South Korean soldiers.

Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of Kim Jong Un, announced that new military units had moved into firing positions and that additional countermeasures were being placed on alert.

Pyongyang also plans to reactivate border loudspeakers within days, potentially escalating the propaganda exchanges between the two countries.

However, South Korea’s military says it has detected no evidence of new weapons being deployed, despite closely monitoring the border.

The confrontation follows a September landmine explosion inside the Demilitarized Zone, which Seoul blames on North Korean forces.

South Korea is now preparing to raise the incident with the UN Security Council, accusing the North of violating the 1953 armistice agreement.
