SEOUL, Oct. 19 (Yonhap) -- Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, said Monday the situation at the southern border is "very unstable," noting the North is reviewing a possible resumption of loudspeaker broadcasts along the border.

The remarks came after Pyongyang has repeatedly denied responsibility for a land mine explosion last month that severely injured two South Korean soldiers and dismissed Seoul's findings that land mines deliberately planted by North Korea were the cause of the blast.

"Now the situation of the southern border is very unstable. A grave situation is prevailing along the southern border due to the reckless behavior of the ROK military gangsters," Kim said in an English-language statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

ROK refers to the acronym of the Republic of Korea, South Korea's official name.

Kim accused the South Korean military of threatening North Korean soldiers and heightening tension, saying such actions have "gone beyond the red line" following what she called "a fabricated 'mine explosion farce.'"

She claimed the South conducted 2,870 rounds of loudspeaker broadcasts and fired 201 warning shots between Aug. 1 and Oct. 17.

The North Korean leader's sister also lashed out at President Lee Jae Myung's government, saying it "has far outpaced the die-hard conservative regime of Yoon Suk Yeol," while advocating reconciliation and peace.

Kim said the North Korean military is considering deploying more tactical strike means along the border and resuming loudspeaker broadcasts to deal with the situation, alongside other measures she did not further elaborate on.

"We seriously warn the ROK military gangsters against their reckless acts of aggravating the situation by constantly threatening the border security. ... Seoul will surely regret and face uncontrollably terrible danger," she said.

In response to Seoul's suspension of loudspeaker broadcasts along the border last year, as part of Lee's push to restore inter-Korean trust, the North also halted its own border broadcasts.

首尔，10月19日（韩联社）——朝鲜领导人金正恩的妹妹金与正周一表示，南部边境局势“非常不稳定”，并指出朝鲜正在考虑恢复沿边境使用扩音器进行广播的可能性。

此前，平壤方面一再否认对上个月造成两名韩国士兵重伤的地雷爆炸事件负责，并驳斥了首尔方面关于朝鲜故意埋设地雷是爆炸原因的调查结果。

“目前南部边境局势非常不稳定。由于韩国军方暴徒的鲁莽行为，南部边境局势十分严峻。”金正恩在朝中社（KCNA）发布的英文声明中说道。

ROK 指的是大韩民国（韩国的正式名称）的缩写。

金女士指责韩国军方威胁朝鲜士兵，加剧了紧张局势，称在她所谓的“捏造的‘地雷爆炸闹剧’”之后，这种行为“越过了红线”。

她声称，从 8 月 1 日到 10 月 17 日，南方进行了 2870 次扩音器广播，并鸣放了 201 发警告枪。

朝鲜领导人的妹妹也抨击了李在明总统的政府，称其“远远超过了尹锡烈的顽固保守政权”，同时倡导和解与和平。

金表示，朝鲜军方正在考虑沿边境部署更多战术打击手段，并恢复扩音器广播以应对当前局势，此外还有其他措施，但她没有进一步详细说明。

“我们郑重警告韩国军方暴徒，不要再肆意妄为，不断威胁边境安全，加剧局势……首尔必将为此付出代价，并面临无法控制的严重危险，”她说道。

去年，作为李明博为恢复朝韩互信而推动的举措之一，首尔暂停了在边境沿线的扩音器广播，作为回应，朝鲜也停止了在边境的广播。
