Tension between North Korea and South Korea rose further when North Korea blowed  up the joint liaison office built for peace in the border town, Kaesong. This came days after North Korea threatened to close the office and the projects between the two countries. The office was a symbol of Inter-Korean Cooperation, and exploded with the motive to show that they’ll no longer cooperate with South Korea.

Seoul was accused of scattering leaflets and material, which were anti -North Korea. The leaflets seemed to have content oppressing against their supreme leader, Kim Jong-un. The material along with mini-radio, USBs were sent to make their citizens aware of their Government system and nuclear weapon programs. They wanted to convey the message that their Government is only concerned about their own comfort, and nothing else. This made North Korea angry about the cunning and treacherous behaviour from them. According to the spokesperson, these leaflets  poses serious environmental risks and endangers the private property. They even warned them about scrapping their military agreement. The destruction broke all the acceptance of   long term inter-Korean relations and peace. North Korea have even plans of deploying the deploying troops at the border. North Koreans  had cut their hotlines ,before exploding the office.

A day after the blow, South Korea’s Blue House commented this to be an senseless and unreasonable behaviour by North Korea, which have damaged the trust built by the two leaders. This whole non-lethal and dramatic action comes after, South Korea sided up with the US on sanctions. History has proven how North Korea pressurizes South Korea ,this time because over failing to extract concessions from the US. North Korea’s  relation with US went down after the second summit in Vietnam in 2019, as the disputed were regarding the number of sanctions to be lifted in return of Kim’s dismantling of nuclear complex. South Korea holds North Korea responsible for breaking the treaty of peace. South Korean President Moon was even called “the Mongrel dog: and accused him of being a US flunkey. South Korea have even after the explosion offered about maintaining cordial relations, but North Korea was not in a mood to do so.

It is very likely for North Korea to blame other countries for any kind of  failure. According  to reports ,more than 10 million citizens  of North Korea are struggling for basic aids of life, but North Korea have sealed all the borders ,in fear of the pandemic. This led to a stop to all the imports, making the lives of the citizen miserable. North Korea eventually is blaming South Korea for this downfall. All the actions were ultimately motive to end for US, attack on South Korea is just the soft target. History says that North Korea always have an incentive before it does crazy things ,or lethal attacks. This time since the US is busy handling its own problem, related to the Pandemic and the anti-racist protests ,North Korea thought of taking a blow against the South Korea.
