North Korea to station ‘new’ armaments along border with South Korea

North Korea plans to put new weapons near the border with South Korea. This is because South Korea did not follow the agreement made in 2018 to calm tensions at the border. State media said this on Thursday.

North Korea did something because South Korea promised to increase its surveillance along the border in response to North Korea launching a spy satellite. The satellite could help North Korea target its enemies better.

Seoul’s action shows that they are stepping back from the Inter-Korean Military Agreement signed in 2018. This agreement was meant to prevent war and create a safe area between North and South Korea with the help of the US.

The South Korean president and North Korean leader signed a document at the border. It said that there would be no more war in Korea and that a new time of peace has started.

However, any positive feelings created by the agreement have disappeared in the last few years. Kim did not get what he wanted from the US and South Korea, so now he is making the North’s missile program stronger. He said he will give North Korea a nuclear deterrent like the one that the United States has.

As North Korea is getting stronger, the US, South Korea, and Japan are working together more to make their militaries stronger. But North Korea sees this as a danger to them.

Earlier this week, North Korea criticized the US for possibly selling advanced missiles to Japan and military equipment to South Korea. They called it a “dangerous act,” according to a report from KCNA.

North Korea said it clearly knows who the weapons are meant to be used against.

On Thursday, North Korea’s Defense Ministry said that its army will not be limited by the military agreement. They promised to bring in stronger armed forces and new military equipment near the Military Demarcation Line. This was reported by KCNA.

It said South Korea’s actions have made the agreement useless and they will have to suffer for their irresponsible behavior.

Pyongyang said that South Korea will be fully responsible for any fights that happen between the two Koreas.

“The situation at the military demarcation line is very dangerous. A small mistake could start a big war. This is because the leaders of South Korea made a serious mistake. The situation is now out of control. ” – KCNA said.
