Kim Yo-jong, First Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of Korea, has announced the demolition of the Kaesong Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office, and North Korea continued its high-intensity pressure on the South by implying the physical explosion of the liaison office through the voices of its residents.

The Workers' Party's official newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, introduced a conversation among young shock brigade members from the Namdeok Youth Coal Mine of the Bukchang District Youth Coal Mine Union Enterprise in an article titled "Only the Moment of Resolute Punishment" on the same day.

In the article, one shock brigade member says, "You must have read the newspaper too. The part about soon witnessing the miserable sight of the useless North-South Joint Liaison Office collapsing without a trace was quite satisfying."

In a statement on the 13th, First Deputy Director Kim said, "We will soon take the next step," and asserted, "Soon, you will see the miserable sight of the useless North-South Joint Liaison Office collapsing without a trace." This statement was published the next day in Rodong Sinmun, which is read by all North Korean residents.

Another shock brigade member added, "A mad dog deserves nothing but a beating with a club," and agreed, saying, "I want to drill holes in their chests with a rock drill; how could they possibly endure it?"

The shock brigade member then raised his voice, saying, "Let our shock brigade blow up that North-South Joint Liaison Office or whatever it is."

The newspaper emphasized, "Who else but these shock brigade members here would vividly imagine the terrifying firestorm of punishment pouring down on the heads of our enemies with relief in their hearts?" and added, "The entire nation’s people are counting the days and nights, eagerly awaiting the merciless and resolute punishment that will somewhat cool the rising anger in their hearts."

The Kaesong Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office was established as a result of an agreement between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un to set it up through the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration.

Meanwhile, North Korean media continued their all-out verbal attacks against the South on the same day. In an article titled "We Will Retaliate with Continuous Actions Until the End" in the political commentary section, the newspaper warned of imminent military provocations, stating, "The invincible revolutionary army will initiate resolute actions to relieve the deeply agitated resentment of our people."

The newspaper sarcastically criticized the South Korean authorities, saying, "Today’s inter-Korean relations and the Korean Peninsula have been completely shattered and are in the worst state of tension due to the South Korean authorities’ concealed hostile policies and incompetent handling," and added, "The South Korean authorities, who have neither the will nor the capability to thoroughly clean up the stinking filth, are truly pitiful."

The South Korean propaganda outlet Uri Minjokkkiri also warned in an article titled "Only Ruthless Practical Actions Are the Answer," saying, "Soon, the South Korean authorities will painfully realize with their own eyes what they have damaged that should never have been harmed, and the catastrophic consequences of the reckless fire-stirring they have caused without a shred of guilt."

Another propaganda outlet, Choson Today, in an article titled "They Will Pay a Painful Price," condemned the distribution of anti-North leaflets and threatened, "The human trash who slander our supreme dignity and run amok, and the South Korean authorities who protect and foolishly play along with them, will painfully realize how agonizing and distressing the price of touching us will be."

That day marked the 20th anniversary of the June 15th North-South Joint Declaration.
