Recently North Korea tested missiles again. This sparked tensions in the South Korea and the UN, and the UN had decided to impose sanctions on North Korea. North Korea perceived this as a hostile move on the UN's part, declaring to take "strong physical countermeasures"[1] on South Korea if South Koreans "participate in the ... UN 'sanctions.'"[1] This causes a lot of tensions in the US as well, not to mention other parts of the world. As for me, I too was feeling very tensed when I was reading the article. I hope nothing too serious would happen.
