North Korea: South Korea and US risking 'huge security crisis'

North Korea on Tuesday warned South Korea and the United States and said they are risking a “huge security crisis” by choosing to escalate tensions, Reuters reported, citing a senior North Korean official.

Kim Yong Chol, a general and politician who played a leading role during historic summits between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and former US President Donald Trump, criticized South Korea and the United States for responding to Pyongyang’s goodwill with what he called “hostile acts”.
