SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said South Korea is a foreign and hostile nation, state media KCNA reported on Friday, with photos showing Kim conferring with high-ranking soldiers and poring over a map labelled "Seoul" at a command post.
Kim discussed the use of "offensive forces" against the South as retaliation for any move that infringes on its sovereignty, the report said. There was no elaboration on what forces might be used.
