Description

North Korea has stepped up fortifications along its heavily militarised border with South Korea while issuing fresh warnings through leader Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong. Sydney Seiler, Korea chair and non-resident senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, tells CNA's Asia First what is driving Pyongyang's actions, why the risk of an unintended military clash remains a concern, and how North Korea's growing nuclear arsenal and closer ties with Russia have altered the security landscape. He also discusses whether renewed dialogue remains possible despite escalating tensions.
