> Kim Yo-jong said North Korea would not discuss military sovereignty with South Korea or negotiate the demarcation of the border. She dismissed Seoul’s proposal as “an illusion unworthy of a response and unilateral whining,” rejected demands for an apology over a recent landmine blast, and ruled out contact between the two Koreas.
