"New response measures". Kim Jong Un's sister warns

Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, announced new military readiness measures and propaganda loudspeakers along the border in response to South Korean warning shots. She emphasized that these measures aim to reduce the risk of armed incidents but warned of immediate retaliation for any mistakes by Seoul. Tensions have escalated since a mine explosion injured South Korean soldiers, which North Korea denied responsibility for. Kim Yo Jong criticized a South Korean politician's comments, calling them foolish. Analysts suggest her statements are aimed at pressuring South Korea while avoiding direct conflict, as both Koreas remain technically at war since the 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty.
