A single mistake can be enough for the situation on the border between North and South Korea to escalate. That's what North Korea expert Jenny Town, who leads the think tank Stimson Center's research on the country, told Sky News.
- If someone is in the wrong place at the wrong time, if someone makes a mistake or if a missile is fired and does not end up on the right trajectory - what happens then?
According to the newspaper, the relationship between the countries appeared to be on the verge of thawing around 2018, when athletes from both countries marched together under the same flag as the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics opened and there was talk of several reforms that would lead to increased cooperation. Since then, however, the development has gone in the opposite direction and the relationship is now worse than in many years.
- The risk of mistakes is quite high, says Jenny Town.

North Korea: Spy satellite has captured images of Pearl Harbor
North Korea claims to have photographed the naval base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in the USA from space, writes TT.
The images are said to have been taken by the spy satellite that North Korea launched on Tuesday.
The information, which originally comes from the state-run North Korean news agency KCNA, claims that the country's dictator Kim Jong-Un personally analyzed the images. He also allegedly received information about "targets" in South Korea from the spy satellite.
