Christmas is a season to be happy and celebrate with friends and families the birth of Jesus Christ. But is not the case for North Korea who is threatening to bomb a christmas tree in South Korea.
This new confrontation happened when a South Korean Christian group were given the green light to rebuild a 30-foot Christmas tree near the border, the powers-that-be in Pyongyang were not impressed, to say the very least.
Seoul’s defence ministry announced on Tuesday that the steel tower on Aegibong, a hill just miles from the North Korean town of Kaesong, would be lined with light bulbs and have a cross placed on top.
But North Korea called the tree a tool for psychological warfare and immediately threatened to fire artillery at it.
‘[The tower] is not just a means for religious events but a symbol of madcap confrontation racket for escalating tensions,’ said North Korean state media.
South Korea, however, aren’t backing down, and say the new tower will be installed and lit up for two weeks from 23 December.
