North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo-jong has called South Korea’s defense minister a “scum-like guy” and warned that South Korea may face “a serious threat” for talking about pre-emptive strikes.
Kim Yo-jong’s comments come amid heightened tension between the two nations over the North’s spate of weapons tests this year, including its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch in more than four years.
