Kim says South violating ‘even 0.001 mm’ of N. Korean territory is ‘war provocation’

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said that were the South to violate less than a millimeter of his country’s territory, it would be considered a provocation for war, state media said Tuesday.

“If the Republic of Korea violates even 0.001 mm of our territorial land, air and waters, it will be considered a war provocation,” he said, adding that Pyongyang would not recognise the de facto maritime border between the two countries, the Northern Limit Line.
