Kim Yo-Jong denies North Korean role in DMZ explosions, escalating inter-Korean tensions

Kim Yo-Jong publicly rejected South Korea's accusation that Pyongyang was behind last week's explosions in the Demilitarized Zone, marking a rare direct denial from the North Korean leadership. The incident and denial heighten military and diplomatic friction on the Korean Peninsula, though the exact nature and origin of the explosions remain unverified. This development signals potential escalation in inter-Korean rhetoric and could impact regional stability.
