The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Thursday dismissed South Korean claims the North is removing some of its loudspeakers along the inter-Korean border, mocking the government in Seoul for clinging to hopes of renewed diplomacy between the war-divided rivals.

The sister of North Korea’s leader denied that her country had dismantled some its propaganda loudspeakers along the DMZ, according to state media.

Kim Jong-un’s powerful sister insisted Pyongyang ‘never removed loudspeakers’ and has no interest in reviving long-stalled negotiations.
