Kim Yo-jung, vice-minister of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued a statement entitled “Stop talking nonsense without understanding” on the 18th. Kim Yo-jung said that on the 17th, the head of the press office of the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said at a regular press conference about North Korea's complete closure of roads and railways connecting South Korea on the southern border, claiming that one of the three bombing images reported by the Korean Central News Agency used images taken by South Korea and infringed on South Korea's copyright. Kim Yo-jung claims that the image is taken from a scene reported in a video reported by various media around the world, such as the American National Broadcasting Corporation, Fox News, and British Reuters. North Korea was unable to take pictures from that angle. In addition, this image was in line with North Korea's intentions in terms of composition, etc., so North Korea only adopted that image. Kim Yo-jung also said that when reporting news about North Korea, South Korea has also used images and videos published by the Korean Central News Agency, and South Korean media such as “Yonhap News” and “Kyunghyang Shimbun” have also used the two images of the explosion taken publicly by North Korea. Kim Yo-jung concluded by saying that South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff should stop getting entangled in pictures or other secondary matters that do not match its functions, but should thoroughly investigate provocative incidents that seriously endanger North Korea's sovereignty and security.
