Analysts say Pyongyang may be seeking to manufacture a crisis to increase pressure on Seoul while nuclear negotiations with Washington are at a standstill.

North Korea's army is"fully ready" to take action against the South, state media said Tuesday in the latest verbal sabre-rattling from Pyongyang, days after its leader's sister threatened military moves against Seoul.

The General Staff of the Korean People's Army said on Tuesday that inter-Korean relations were worsening and it had been studying an"action plan" to"turn the front line into a fortress". South Korean reports said that could mean reintroducing guard posts near the heavily fortified border, which the two Koreas agreed to scrap in 2018 to defuse tension.

On Monday, South Korea's left-leaning President Moon Jae-in urged the North not to"close the window of dialogue".
