The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) published an article by the Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the Korean Workers' Party, expressing outrage at recent statements by South Korean officials that tensions have increased on the peninsula following North Korea's missile launches, despite Seoul's efforts to continue dialogue with Pyongyang.
In August, North Korean media launched near-daily criticism of South Korea over military exercises that Pyongyang has long viewed as an invasion rehearsal.
However, such criticism has waned in recent weeks. The Rodong articleSinmun marked the resumption of criticism, which can be seen as a move by North Korea to strengthen its leverage ahead of the resumption of nuclear talks with the US./.
