North Korea has promised to, among other measures, sever two communication hotlines between itself and South Korea, a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) read on Thursday.
The action is one of a series of declarations made by the North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK), that follow South Korea’s decision to suspend activity at the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC). The CPRK also slammed the South's decision to suspend activities in strongly worded terms.
