00:00 In a stark denial, Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, rejects Seoul's
00:08 assertions of artillery fire by Pyongyang near their disputed border.
00:14 The South Korean military reported over 60 artillery rounds near Yeonpyeong Island, intensifying
00:20 tensions after both sides conducted live-fire drills in the contested maritime area.
00:26 Amid conflicting reports, the situation remains delicate.
00:30 As tensions escalated, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that the artillery
00:35 shells landed with the buffered zone established under a 2018 tension-reducing agreement.
00:42 This accord, however, unravelled in November following North Korea's launch of a spy satellite.
00:48 Countering the claims, Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, asserted in a statement through
00:53 the official Korean Central News Agency, "Our military did not fire a single shell into
00:59 the water area."
01:01 As conflicting statements emerge, the situation remains tense.
01:06 Revealing a strategic move, Kim Yo Jong disclosed that North Korea stimulated the sound of gunfire
01:13 through explosive detonations on 60 occasions, carefully observing the response of South
01:19 Korean forces.
01:20 She stated, "The result was exactly as we expected.
01:24 They misjudged the sound of explosives as gunfire, assumed it was an artillery fire
01:30 provocation and shamelessly made up a lie."
01:33 Mocking South Korea, Kim Yo Jong added, "In the future, they will misjudge even the rumbling
01:39 sound of thunder in the northern sky as artillery fire from our military."
01:45 As tensions escalate, residents on two South Korean islands near the border have been ordered
01:50 to evacuate.
01:51 The relationship between the two Koreas is currently at one of its lowest points in decades,
01:57 exacerbated after leader Kim Jong Un officially declared his country a nuclear power in the
02:04 constitution.
02:05 North Korea's test firing of advanced ICBMs last year, coupled with Kim Jong Un's threat
02:11 of nuclear attack on the South and a call for military build-up, has intensified the
02:16 situation with the warning that conflict could break out any time.
