North Korea threatens to shut liaison office with South

North Korea lashed out at South Korea for the 2nd day in a row on Friday, threatening to close an inter-Korean liaison office, for failing to prevent activists from sending anti-North Korean leaflets across the border. The statement came a day after Kim Jong Un’s sister said her country would end a military agreement reached with South Korea to reduce tensions if Seoul fails to stop the activists.
