NK ‘sea of fire’ warning over leaflets
Print Edition
NORTH Korea yesterday threatened to turn Seoul into a “sea of fire” unless South Korean activists stop the launches of propaganda leaflets across the heavily fortified border.
The warning came hours after South Korean police blocked activists from launching leaflets amid elevated military tensions on the divided peninsula.
“The puppet forces should not forget even a moment that the whole of South Korea might turn into a sea of fire due to the foolhardy leaflet-scattering operations,” the North warned in a statement released through its official Korean Central News Agency.
Published jointly by front-line army units, it said South Korea should not test the patience of North Korean soldiers.
About 100 South Korean police officers earlier formed human barriers to block vehicles carrying around 30 activists to the border town of Paju, from where they had planned to launch helium balloons carrying the leaflets into North Korea.
