‘Accounts to settle’: N Korea cuts communication links with South

Al Jazeera  

Pyongyang says all hotlines between unification representatives, two militaries will be cut off from Tuesday noon. Yonhap also quoted South Korea’s defence ministry as saying North Korea also did not answer calls via military hotlines. Top government officials in North Korea, including leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, and Kim Yong Chol, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, determined “that the work towards the South should thoroughly turn into the one against an enemy”, KCNA said. The people of North Korea have “been angered by the treacherous and cunning behaviour of the South Korean authorities, with whom we still have lots of accounts to settle”, KCNA said. The report accused South Korean authorities of irresponsibly allowing defectors to hurt the dignity of North Korea’s supreme leadership.
