North Korea says it'll cut off communication channels with South Korea June 08, 2020 at 05:32PM

It said the decision was made by Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, and Kim Yong Chol, a former hard-line military intelligence chief who Seoul believes was behind two 2010 attacks that killed 50 South Koreans. ``The South Korean authorities connived at the hostile acts against (North Korea) by the riff-raff, while trying to dodge heavy responsibility with nasty excuses,'' KCNA said. ``They should be forced to pay dearly for this.''
