Amid concerns about additional provocations by North Korea ahead of the 5th anniversary of the declaration of ‘complete nuclear power’, the government expressed regret, saying it was “deeply regrettable.”

The discussion of Deputy Director Kim Yeo-jeong, who disagreed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ announcement that it would independently review sanctions against North Korea, was full of hostile expressions.

Calling President Yoon Seok-yeol in untitled profanity, the people said, “I don’t know why I’m just watching the regime create a precarious situation.”

Putting former President Moon Jae-in down together, he also claimed, “At that time, at least Seoul was not the target.”

North Korea, which had already taken the position that it could launch a pre-emptive strike with nuclear weapons, raised its warning that it could also launch recent missiles to threaten Seoul.

“(North Korea) almost equates sanctions against North Korea with ROK-US military exercises, which it hates as a symbol of its hostile policy … It is such a warning message that it is enough to use as justification and excuse for extra. provocations…”

North Korea, which has launched missiles 25 times during the six months of Yoon Seok-yeol’s administration, reiterates his will to ‘conflict’ with his younger sister Kim Yeo-jung, saying, “I hate human beings themselves “, following Chairman Kim Jong-un spoke of “destruction.”

The Unification Ministry criticized North Korea’s discourse urging the fight against the government as “low-level words”.

“I deeply regret (North Korea’s) attitude to pass the blame on us as if the bandits beat us.”

Amid concerns about additional provocations ahead of the 5th anniversary of North Korea’s declaration of “complete nuclear power” on the 29th, the military authorities said they were “closely monitoring North Korea’s movements.”
