The sister of North Korean despot Kim Jong Un threatened military action against South Korea over the weekend, prompting South Korea’s Ministry of Defense to take action.

Kim Yo Jong warned that “by exercising my power authorized by the supreme leader, our party and the state, I gave an instruction to the arms of the department in charge of the affairs with the enemy to decisively carry out the next action,” according North Korean state-run media.
