By AFP More by this AuthorSeoulNorth Korea's army is "fully ready" to take action against the South, state media said Tuesday in the latest verbal sabre-rattling from Pyongyang, days after its leader's sister threatened military moves against Seoul. The leaflets – usually attached to hot air balloons or floated in bottles – criticise North Korean leader Kim Jong-un over human rights abuses and his nuclear ambitions. LEAFLET SCATTERINGThe North Korean army will also plan to carry out "large-scale leaflet scattering" into the South, the statement said. On Monday, South Korea's left-leaning President Moon Jae-in urged the North not to "close the window of dialogue". The two Koreas remain technically at war after Korean War hostilities ended with an armistice in 1953 that was never replaced with a peace treaty.
