The two Koreas are technically still at war, even though the 1950-53 war ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty.

Seoul: North Korea’s state media on Sunday released a white paper accusing South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol of putting his country at risk of nuclear war through his policies toward North Korea.

The document, compiled by North Korea’s Institute for Enemy State Studies and released by state news agency KCNA, criticised Yoon’s “reckless remarks” about war, abandoning elements of the inter-Korean agreement, planning for nuclear war with the United States and seeking closer ties with Japan and NATO.

“Its increasingly escalating military moves have resulted in the paradoxical consequences of pushing (North Korea) to rapidly accumulate its nuclear weapons and further develop its nuclear strike capability,” the paper said. Yoon, a conservative, has taken a tough stance on North Korea, which has moved to develop its arsenal of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions.

His administration accuses North Korea of ​​raising tensions with weapons tests and providing military aid and troops to aid Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Pyongyang has been taking steps to sever inter-Korean ties, redefining the South as a separate, hostile enemy state, ever since Kim Jong Un declared it a “primary enemy” earlier this year and said unification was no longer possible.

North Korea blew up sections of inter-Korean roads and rail lines on its side of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas last month, and satellite imagery shows it has since built large trenches at former crossings.

The two Koreas are technically still at war, as the 1950-53 war ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty.

The two Koreas have also clashed over garbage balloons launched from North Korea since May. Pyongyang has said the launches were in response to balloons sent by anti-regime activists in the South. Sunday’s white paper also listed Yun’s domestic political troubles, including a scandal involving his wife that has caused his approval ratings to hit a record low.
