The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called South Korea's defense minister a “scum-like guy” for talking about preemptive strikes on the North, warning Sunday that the South may face “a serious threat.”
Kim Yo Jong's statement came amid heightened tensions between the rival Koreas over the North's spate of weapons tests this year, including its first intercontinental ballistic missile launch in more than four years.
On Sunday, Kim's sister, Kim Yo Jong, issued blistering rhetoric directed at Suh and threats toward Seoul. Pak said North Korea will “mercilessly direct military force into destroying major targets in Seoul and the South Korean army” if South Korea preemptively attacks North Korea.
