THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: North Korea shuts down Kaesong complex

Once again, the Kaesong complex is facing a shutdown as the North Korea announced that they will rid the complex of workers from South Korea.

The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea issued a statement via the state media, saying they are closing down the complex and designate it as a military control zone following the South's suspension of all operations in the factory zone in response to last week's rocket launch by the North.

The North says that the recent shutdown announcement was a dangerous declaration of war that would bring the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of confrontation and cannot be tolerated.
