KATHMANDU: North Korea has suspended plans for “military action” against South Korea, state media reported.

There have been simmering tensions between the two countries in recent weeks as groups in the South planned to fly propaganda leaflets over the border.

North Korea had threatened to send troops into the demilitarized zone (DMZ) at the intra-Korean border.

But at a meeting chaired by leader Kim Jong-un, state media said the decision was taken to suspend military action.

The Central Military Commission made its decision after taking what it called the prevailing situation into consideration.

His sister, Kim Yo-jong, had directed the army more than a week ago to “decisively carry out the next action” stating that Seoul failed to stop activists sending anti-regime leaflets over the border attached to balloons.
