North Korea said that young people from different parts of the country are supposedly en masse enlisting to join the army because South Korea launched drones that scattered propaganda leaflets over the DPRK capital Pyongyang.
This was stated by the North Korean news agency KCNA.
In the event of war, the Republic of Korea will be destroyed. She wants war, and we will gladly destroy her, KCNA said. — Over two days, October 14 and 15, nationwide, more than 1.4 million leading workers of the Union of Youth and Young People expressed an ardent desire to join and return to the People’s Army.
It is claimed that this number of “furious new generation of vigilantes” will continue to grow.
In all corners of our land… the passion of fiery young people to join the army is in full swing, ready to boldly rise to the holy war for the destruction of enemies, firmly holding the weapon of revolution in their hands, KCNA said.
Let us remind you that yesterday, October 15, it became known that the DPRK blew up the roads that connect it with South Korea. Prior to this, the North Korean military announced its intention to “completely separate” the territory of the DPRK from South Korea.
According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), North Korea is the most militarized state in the world. With a population of 25 million, it has a standing army of about 1.2 million and another 800,000 reservists, as well as a paramilitary force of about 5.7 million.
At the same time, the country’s poverty and isolation mean its conventional troops are weaker compared to those of South Korea and the United States, prompting the country’s leadership to invest in asymmetric capabilities—particularly the development of nuclear weapons and the ballistic missiles to deliver them.
