SOUTH KOREA called an emergency security meeting today after Pyongyang threatened to end co-operation.

First vice-director of the Workers Party of Korea’s United Front department, Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, described an inter-Korean liaison office in the border town of Kaesong as “useless” and said Seoul would soon see it collapse.

She also said that “the next action against the enemy” would be entrusted to the army.
