🇰🇵🇰🇷North Korea has declared its intention to pursue severe retaliatory measures in response to perceived border provocations by South Korea.

According to a statement issued by Kim Yo-jong, Director of the General Department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the North Korean military will enhance its tactical counterstrike capabilities along the border. As reported by KCNA, the statement asserts that in response to escalating provocations by the Republic of Korea (ROK), the North Korean army is implementing measures to augment tactical counterattack assets directed toward the demilitarized zone near the 21st Infantry Division of the ROK Army’s 3rd Corps.

The Korean People's Army (KPA) has spent two years constructing barriers in the southern border area to strengthen defenses and is prepared to respond to further incidents. The statement warns that should any projectile impact North Korean territory, border units will execute immediate and severe retaliatory action.
