North Korea's Kim Yo-jong Visits Military Demarcation Line, Emphasizes 'Fortification of Border'
Published
It has recently been reported that Kim Yo-jong, Vice Department Director of the Workers' Party of Korea, made a surprise visit to the area near the Military Demarcation Line (MDL). This visit took place amidst North Korea's moves to completely sever inter-Korean relations and militarily fortify its border regions.
According to North Korean media reports, Kim personally inspected the fortification projects currently underway along the Military Demarcation Line. This project is one of the key military measures North Korea is pursuing to physically disconnect inter-Korean links and strengthen its defensive posture.
Through this on-site inspection, Kim made it clear that the order for the 'fortification of the border' was issued under the direction of General Secretary Kim Jong-un. Furthermore, she emphasized the thorough and perfect implementation of the order, heightening military tensions.
These measures demonstrate that North Korea is further concretizing its hostile intent toward the South amid the strained inter-Korean situation. Our government and military authorities are closely monitoring these movements by North Korea and maintaining a state of readiness.
