North Korea blows up inter-Korean liaison office as Kim Yo Jong cements power

North Korea has blown up an Inter-Korean liaison office on the border between North and South. Korean experts say the explosion was designed to cement the growing power of Pyongyang leader Kim Jong Un’’s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong. She is tipped to become the next leader of the volatile hermit kingdom. South Korea has responded to the explosion with regret, saying that if Pyongyang pushes forward with threats to remilitarize the border zone, it will, quote, “pay the price.“ Just behind North Korean leader Kim Jong Un walks his sister Kim Yo Jong. Days ago she issued a warning that the North-South joint liaison office would be destroyed. And that’s exactly what happened. On Wednesday, North Korean state media released this footage of the office being blown up the previous afternoon.
