Lee: NK cuts ties, declares S. Korea 'hostile state'

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung stated during a press conference that all means of communication with North Korea have been cut off. He noted that North Korea now describes South Korea as its 'most hostile state' and declared the two are no longer one national community but two hostile states. This marks a sharp deterioration in inter-Korean relations, aligning with North Korea's recent constitutional change designating South Korea as a separate enemy state.
