SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea blew up a joint liaison office near the border with South Korea on Tuesday in a sharp escalation of tensions triggered by the dispatch of anti-regime leaflets by activists.

The blast, which followed weeks of threats by the communist state, raised fears of potential military action by the North amid growing frustration with the South and stalled nuclear talks with the United States.

South Korea convened a national security council meeting to discuss the explosion in Kaesong, a village due north of the Demilitarized Zone that also is home to a defunct joint industrial complex.

In an unusually fast report on state-run media, North Korea confirmed that it had demolished the liaison office with a “terrific explosion” to punish the South for the propaganda leaflets.


Smoke rose from the area as seen in photos by South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.

The Unification Ministry in Seoul confirmed the blast happened at 2:49 p.m. It didn’t provide details but said no South Koreans were present because the office has been closed since late January due to coronavirus concerns.

The liaison office, which was established in Kaesong after a series of inter-Korean summits in 2018, has become an emblem of North Korea’s growing frustration with the South.

The two sides agreed to send senior officials to the facility for weekly meetings, but the North stopped participating last year as relations chilled. Still, they maintained regular contacts until deciding to close the office because of the pandemic.


On Saturday, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, warned that the South would soon witness a “tragic scene of the useless North-South joint liaison office completely collapsed.”

The Korean Central News Agency reported that the office had been “tragically ruined” on Tuesday, days after the North had severed communication lines with the South.

It said the move was “corresponding to the mindset of the enraged people to surely force human scum and those, who have sheltered the scum, to pay dearly for their crimes.”

The North Koreans frequently use the term “human scum” for defectors who fled to the South and often participate in operations to send messages and food across the border.

North Korea already has suspended most cooperation with Seoul amid frustration over the lack of progress in bilateral economic projects and other issues linked to disarmament talks with the United States.

But the dispatch of propaganda leaflets by a group of activists earlier this month proved a tipping point for Pyongyang, which treats the ruler and his family as godlike.

South Korea’s government promised to prevent further leafleting, but the North accused it of conniving with the activists and violating previous agreements.

On Tuesday, the North Korean army said it was “keeping a close watch on the current situation in which the north-south relations are turning worse and worse” and “will rapidly and thoroughly implement any decisions and orders” of the ruling Workers’ Party and government.

The army’s general staff is “studying an action plan” to “advance again into the zones that had been demilitarized under the north-south agreement, turn the front line into a fortress and further heighten the military vigilance against the south,” KCNA reported earlier Tuesday.

The statement came two days after Kim Yo Jong branded South Korea an “enemy” and said she had given the general staff the right to take the “next action.”

KCNA didn’t offer more specifics, but South Korean media speculated the North may be referring to regions where it has pulled out troops to facilitate past economic and tourism projects around the border town of Kaesong and the Mount Kumgang resort area.

The two Koreas also vacated several guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone that divides the peninsula as part of a military agreement reached in 2018 during a bout of diplomatic efforts to improve relations that have since fizzled.

Experts also have said the North is likely using a favored tactic of creating a crisis to project strength on the domestic front and pressure the South to take its side on easing U.S.-led sanctions and other issues.

Speaking about Kim Yo Jong’s threat on Monday, a former senior South Korean negotiator said the destruction of the liaison office would be mainly symbolic.

“Blowing up the liaison office is just killing what is dead already,” Chun Yung-woo said in an online forum about past efforts to persuade the North to abandon its nuclear weapons. “I think the North Koreans are trying to change [South Korea’s] policy toward North Korea through intimidation.”

kroger:
I recently came across a Facebook page named "Anonymous" (Collectives) which identifies itself as a Hacktivist group that exposes corrupt politicians and is also involved in fixing football matches with around 144k followers and counting. Their projections concerning the fate of particular political figures, including the allegation that Bola Tinubu bribed the INEC chairman and that the INEC office was about to be burned, drew my attention.

Furthermore, I monitored their recommendations on fixed matches and observed their success with half-time tips. Subsequently, they encouraged others to participate in the upcoming fixed match. After a few days, I took the initiative to contact them via their Facebook Messenger to place a bet on the match scheduled for last Sunday. This was their response

Information on soccer manipulations has been slated for Sunday, it is a twin ticket respectively.
Full ticket has a total of 306.00 odds and costs $. 3,200.
Mini ticket has a total of 115 odds and costs $. 1,200
Both tickets plays Sunday.

In summary i foolishly, stupidly and imprudently played the Mini ticket, money that i would have used to assist nairalanders in need. The game was played and won on Sunday, but when I asked about my payment, I was instructed to provide my email address. However, even after a few hours, I had not received any email and had to inquire again I received an email informing me that I had won, but to obtain my earnings, I had to pay a fee for claiming my profits. It was at this moment that I recognized that I had been scammed. Chai !!!

I revisited their page to review the remarks made by previous winners who had expressed their contentment with the fixed match. I contacted three of them confidentially to inform them about my ordeal and to inquire about their payment procedures. They disclosed that they were part of the Anonymous Telegram group, where they bought game tips and placed the bets themselves. When I requested for the Telegram link, two of them provided the same link, whereas the third gave me the same telegram link that they always post on their page.

At this point i was determined to uncover how they operate. to be continued..

Did you fast and abstain from anything during the Lenten season ?

Myself, apart from the fasting during the lent season, I decided to abstain from Alcohol beverages, all forms of flesh (meat, fish) and then secular music just to mortify the flesh.

It definitely wasn't easy but it was worth it and I had the opportunity of retreating at a monastery.

What about yours ?

Former Ghana U-20 midfielder, Gladson Awako, has revealed that Nigerian pastor, TB Joshua, contributed to Ghana’s 2009 FIFA U-20 world cup triumph in Egypt by offering the team prayers before each game and arranging the order of Ghana’s penalty takers in the final against Brazil.

Ghana became the first African team to win the FIFA U-20 world cup when they beat Brazil 4-3 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 after extra time.

Ghana had a man sent off in the 37th minute when Daniel Addo was given his matching orders.

Eleven years since that victory, member of the team, Awako, 31, has revealed TB Joshua predicted would have a man sent off.
During the U-20 World Cup in Egypt 2009, we normally gathered around the centre to pray. The coach usually made us speak to a man on phone. He will put the phone on loud speaker so we could all hear and then pray and do what he says,” Awako revealed in an instagram live chat with YAC Media.

“Most of the things he said came to pass especially the final. He predicted that we will get an early red card and also told us how we will arrange the penalty takers.

“All that came to pass. Honestly I didn’t know who it was until we won the cup and they told us the man was TB Joshua.”

Awako currently plays for Ghana Premier League side Great Olympics where he is captain.

Excuse ma, if you mix Omo and Klin, will there be foam?
Teacher responded: Yes of course, why ask such a stupid question at the beginning of the term, are you going to pass this class at all?
Little Johnny laughs and whispers to the other kids, what a dumb teacher!, how can you get foam when you mix Omo & Klin without adding water, are we going to know anything at all with this teacher?
