North Korea stops all communication with the South

Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jon, made the decision to cut all communication with South Korea because of Seoul’s activists sending balloons over the boarder.

Activists and defectors have been sending over balloons filled with flyers criticizing Kim Jong Un’s nuclear objectives and human rights violations.

North Korea’s State News Agency, KCNA, said that cutting communication with the South was the first step to ‘completely shut down all contact means with South Korea.’

This came after KNCA’s response stating that South Korea ‘connived at the hostile acts… by the riff-raff, while trying to dodge heavy responsibility with nasty excuses.’

KNCA added they would be shutting the military and presidential hotlines and well as the communication at the Korean liaison office. These lines allow the two countries to maintain vital military communications.

North Korea did not answer their daily liaison call with South Korea on Tuesday morning and also went silent on all military hotlines, said a military spokesperson from the South.

At least 59 people have been killed in a suspected jihadist attack in north-eastern Nigeria on Tuesday.

No group has admitted being responsible for the attack that killed dozens in a remote village in the Guibo district of Borno state.

According to local reports the village was destroyed in what is believed to have been a reprisal attack.

The jihadist group Boko Haram, a branch of the Islamist State group, have carried out deadly attacks in the north-east of Nigeria.

Boko Haram caused global outrage when they abducted over 270 schoolgirls in Chibok in Borno state in 2014.

The group is also active in the neighboring countries of Niger, Chad, and Cameroon.

However, it is still unclear who carried out the attack in the Guibo district.
