Pyongyang blew up a liaison office after the N. Korean leader's sister said it would be 'completely collapsed'. FMTNews

SEOUL: Seoul prosecutors have opened an unprecedented probe into North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s sister over Pyongyang’s blowing up of a liaison office last month, officials said Thursday.

Last month, Pyongyang blew up an inter-Korean liaison office on its side of the border, days after Kim Yo-jong — one of her brother’s closest advisers — had said the “useless” property would soon be seen “completely collapsed”. In his complaint, lawyer Lee Kyung-jae claimed the now-demolished liaison office was South Korean property as it was renovated using South Korean government funds, despite its being located in the North.

Under South Korea’s criminal code, he stressed, damaging property or disturbing the peace using explosives was punishable by death, or a prison sentence of at least seven years.
