NK leader’s sister blames Seoul for COVID-19, threatens ‘extermination’
Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, on Wednesday blamed South Korea for the COVID-19 outbreak in the North, and threatened the “extermination” of South Korean authorities.
According to the North’s Korean Central News Agency, Kim Yo-jong blamed “unusual objects” of South Korean origin -- anti-North Korea leaflets sent from the South -- for COVID-19 outbreaks in North Korea at a disease control meeting presided over by her brother.
“The national crisis we have experienced is clearly caused by the frenzy of the enemies who attempt to crush our country by using the global health crisis as an opportunity,” said Kim.
She said that as the outbreak began near the inter-Korean border, the obvious conclusion was to suspect objects found in the region as the source of the virus.
She went on to issue a threat, saying that Pyongyang will “answer by exterminating not only the virus but South Korean authorities” should “dangerous actions that can lead to inflow of virus” continue.
