North Korea has told its border troops to take "prompt ​and resolute action" if South Korean forces threaten their safety, state media ​said on Wednesday, raising the risk of a clash along the ⁠heavily armed frontier. The report came a day after Seoul pledged to punish "resolutely" any ​further provocation by Pyongyang if North Korea acted on threats to strengthen its military ​posture along the border. cnn.it/4hZXGHx

Nearly all North Korean websites have been inaccessible for the past day as the country experiences severe Internet disruptions. 175.45.176.0/24 contains the name servers for .kp and has been down repeatedly in the past 24hrs. @nknewsorg nknews.org/pro/nearly-all-no…

All of this is a result of the newly released Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 game. North Korea is taking it too far. That's all this is.

This really is a nothing burger. They do this shit when something’s going on internally and they need to divert attention to the outside. I’d be more curious about what’s going on inside NK right now that they’re pulling this shit again.
