Kim Yo-jong rejects DMZ blast blame, mocks Seoul's tension-easing call

Kim Yo-jong again denies North Korean responsibility for the DMZ explosion and ridicules Seoul's appeal to reduce tensions, continuing Pyongyang's confrontational rhetoric. The claim is unverified, but the tone signals no immediate de-escalation on the Korean Peninsula. This matters as it sustains elevated inter-Korean friction and complicates diplomatic outreach.
