North Korea's powerful leader Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, has issued a warning to South Korea following its recent front-line live-fire drills. Kim Yo Jong referred to the drills as 'suicidal hysteria' and threatened unspecified military actions if further provoked.
The tension escalated after South Korea conducted firing exercises along its land and sea borders with North Korea, breaking a 2018 agreement aimed at easing military tensions. Kim Yo Jong accused South Korea's conservative government of deliberately escalating the situation to divert attention from a domestic political crisis.
