North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said he has the legal right to destroy South Korea, once again threatening his neighbor after eliminating the concept of peaceful unification from his state’s national policy earlier this year.

Details: Kim is reported to have said while visiting the Defense Ministry and marking the anniversary of the founding of the army that South Korea’s “puppets” have rejected Pyongyang’s efforts to cooperate and are seeking to absorb their neighbor.
Therefore, he said, it is correct to call South Korea the “main enemy,” and based on this legality, “it can be attacked and destroyed at any time,” KCNA quoted him as saying.
A day earlier, KCNA reported that North Korea’s parliament had repealed laws on economic cooperation with South Korea, driving an even deeper wedge between the neighbors. Since the beginning of the year, the Kim regime has stepped up its pressure campaign on South Korea, testing cruise missiles, using threatening rhetoric against Seoul and demolishing a monument in Pyongyang symbolizing hopes for unification.
