Kim Yo-jong, a vice department director of North Korea's Workers' Party, called the South Korean military "military gangsters" and stated that a chilling atmosphere is being created along the so-called southern border line, namely the Military Demarcation Line area.

Kim then claimed that the South Korean military found fault with North Korean soldiers mobilized for border barrier construction, accusing them of having "crossed the line," and conducted loudspeaker warning broadcasts 2,870 times and warning shots 201 times from August 1 to October 17.

The South Korean military has been responding by first issuing warning broadcasts and then firing warning shots when North Korean troops cross the Military Demarcation Line in the process of their "border fortification" work, which involves planting landmines and erecting barbed-wire fences along the border area.

Kim specifically claimed that the areas with frequent warning broadcasts included the Army's 2nd Corps 7th and 15th Infantry Divisions, while the areas where warning shots were fired included the 3rd Corps 21st Infantry Division.

She also asserted that this situation demonstrates how the Lee Jae-myung administration's "anti-Republic confrontation schemes" far exceed those of the Yoon Suk Yeol administration, which blatantly promoted anti-communism, while issuing threats by mentioning physical follow-up measures.

Citing such measures, she mentioned the reinforced deployment of tactical strike means along the southern border line and reviewing the resumption of loudspeaker broadcasts toward South Korea.

This marks the first time North Korea has issued threats by specifically citing follow-up measures since the landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone on September 21.
