Seoul

North Korea is back in the news these days, and (as usual) for troubling reasons: The Kim regime’s nuclear and missile programs are making rapid progress. Given that Kim Jong-un has already used weapons of mass destruction in his short tenure as North Korean dictator (the assassination of his half-brother Kim Jong-nam was conducted using VX nerve agent, an internationally banned chemical weapon), these developments are deeply worrying, to say the least. So is the fact that the Pyongyang regime is now in the habit of making threats to attack South Korea.
