A North Korean news portal, northkoreatimes.com, Sunday, September 25, 2016, reports that South Korea is planning to to assassinate Kim Jong Un.. The paper says that “While speaking at the parliament, Min-koo was questioned if his military had made any preparations to assassinate the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un. Without batting an eye, Min-koo responded in the affirmative. He reportedly said, “Yes, we do have such a plan.
The paper further said, Reports later confirmed that South Korea indeed had assembled a special forces unit to carry out the task.
The minister is said to have elaborated that in order to fend off any possible attack from the North, South Korea would need half a million active duty soldiers. North Korea is said to have 1.2 million such soldiers currently.
Internationally, the minister’s statement created quite a stir - the world was shocked not because the military had such a plan against its rival but because they chose to make the plan public.
Experts on the other hand, have said that North Korea and Kim Jong Un are sure to see South Korea’s announcement as a provocation.
South Korea then followed up its statement by questioning North’s right to remain a ‘peace-loving UN member.”
Speaking at the UN General Assembly, South Korean foreign minister Yun Byung-se reportedly said that the country "is totally ridiculing the authority of the General Assembly and the Security Council.”
Pyongyang has issued several warnings to South Korea and U.S. in the past and some very recent threats in the last few months. Known to use dramatised language, North has often said that it has the potential and wouldn’t hesitate to turn the whole of South Korea into ashes.
It has displayed its nuclear might through almost half a dozen nuclear tests, two of them coming in 2016 alone - with the most recent one, a higher level nuclear warhead test explosion’ being dubbed as packing the power of the bomb that razed Hiroshima to the ground and left devastation all around it.
This was North Korea’s second nuclear test in eight months and its most powerful one overall. North celebrated the success of the test, even the world stared on in utter shock - and said that the test would help the country build an array of stronger, smaller and lighter nuclear weapons at will.
Even though South Korea has found a strong ally in the form of U.S., China remains mostly silent and indecisive on the outside, but on paper, remains North Korea’s only strong ally in the region.
North Korea landed a few ballistic missiles (SLBM) off its east coast, in the Sea of Japan - leaving yet another Asian neighbour miffed and outraged.
On the Other hand, it is believed to be said that North Korean news papers used to give these type of news on a daily basis to make the country men believe that their boss is on a threat and all should support him.
