North Korea issues shoot-to-kill orders to prevent virus: US
This undated picture released from North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency on September 7, 2020, shows a man undergoing a temperature check as personnel in protective clothing disinfect a vehicle in Pyongyang.
US Forces Korea commander Robert Abrams said that the border shutdown had increased demand for smuggled goods, prompting authorities to intervene. The border closure had effectively “accelerated the effects” of economic sanctions imposed on the North over its nuclear programs, he added, with imports from China plunging 85 percent.
“The regime right now –- the military -– is focused principally on getting their country recovered and to help mitigate the risk of Covid-19,” he said. But CSIS published on its website a satellite image of North Korea’s Sinpo South naval shipyard, which its experts believe shows activity that could indicate preparations for a test of a submarine-launched ballistic missile.
