North Korea has stated that it has temporarily stopped its planned military actions against South Korea. The decision was made by the central military commission of the Labor Party, chaired by ruler Kim Jong Un, the state media reported today.
No reasons were given for this. North Korea had recently reacted angrily to a propaganda campaign by South Korean activists who had sent leaflets wrapped in balloons near the border with criticism of the autocratic leadership in Pyongyang to the north.
North Korea’s army leadership announced last week that it would resume military exercises near the border and relocate soldiers to previously shared industrial and tourist areas.
