North Korea has blamed 'alien things' coming from its southern border for causing an outbreak of coronavirus
North Korea has blamed "alien things" coming from its southern border for causing an outbreak of coronavirus.The highly questionable claim appeared to be an attempt to hold South Korea responsible amid increasing tensions.
In what it called "an emergency instruction", the epidemic prevention centre ordered officials to "to vigilantly deal with alien things coming by wind and other climate phenomena and balloons" along the border and trace their sources to the last. Activists for years have flown balloons across the border to distribute propaganda leaflets critical of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and North Korea has often expressed fury at the activists and at South Korea's leadership for not stopping them.After maintaining a widely disputed claim to be coronavirus-free for more than two years, North Korea on May 12 admitted to the Covid-19 outbreak, saying an unspecified number of people in Pyongyang tested positive for the omicron variant.
