North Korea: Kim Jong Un's sister hurls insults at 'idiot' South Korean leaders over possible sanctions
Responding to Ms Kim's insults, Seoul said it was"very deplorable for her to denounce our head of state with rough, substandard words and show no basic forms of etiquette".
The unification ministry, an executive department of the South Korean government, added it strongly condemns what it called Ms Kim's"impure attempt to incite anti-government struggles and shake our system".Analyst Cheong Seong-Chang, from the private Sejong Institute in South Korea, said that although this is not the first time Ms Kim has used insults towards South Korea, the move is expected to further escalate military tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Since 2006, North Korea has been under 11 rounds of United Nations sanctions, imposed over its nuclear and missile tests. Both China and Russia backed tighter sanctions after Pyongyang's last nuclear test in 2017, but in May vetoed a US-led push for more UN penalties over its renewed missile launches.
