Kim Yoo Jeong-cheon, head of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued a statement denouncing a series of reckless acts by the South Korean military for causing tension on the border between North Korea and South Korea. Kim Yo-jung said that since August, the South Korean military has been triggering megaphone broadcasts, and has unfounded accusations that North Korean personnel “crossed the line,” and even used automatic rifles and large-caliber machine guns to carry out warning shots. She said that from August 1 to October 17, South Korea's megaphone broadcast provoked as many as 2,870 times and warned of shooting 201 times. Kim Yo-jung issued a serious warning against South Korea's actions threatening North Korea's border security and the personal safety of North Korean soldiers, saying that South Korea's reckless actions would worsen the situation and cause serious disasters. Kim Yo-jung also said that in response to the current situation, North Korea's military leadership is studying measures such as strengthening tactical attack methods and restarting megaphone broadcasts to South Korea across the southern border, and is also considering taking other necessary and appropriate measures.
