SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says that North Korea has exploded an inter-Korean liaison office building just north of the tense Korean border.

Seoul’s Unification Ministry says the destruction of the building at the North Korean border town of Kaesong happened at 2:49 p.m. Tuesday.

North Korea had earlier threatened to demolish the building as it stepped up its fiery rhetoric over Seoul’s failure to stop activists from flying propaganda leaflets across the border.

Some experts say North Korea is expressing its frustration because Seoul is unable to resume joint economic projects due to U.S.-led sanctions.

4. Sorry, Donny can't come to the phone right now...

...He walked into a wall a few minutes ago and now he's having it arrested by the Feds.

11. It does appear we have a cartoon president

He sure doesn't have a brain or a soul. I keep waiting for him to actually explode.

2. Shit

Kim's sister doesn't mess around.

3. Was the building occupied when she blew it up?

5. No wonder Trump likes Kim so much

If something irks you, blow it up.

The difference is that if Kim and his sister want to do it, there's no one in their country who will deny them their whims.

We're not there.

Yet.

We have about 5 months to make sure we never are.

6. Same reason he likes Putin; these types just do away with any opposition.

He just wishes he could be the same way

7. Kim's sister at it again...maybe we should start a #wheresKim movement

Is he dead, alive or a vegetable?

13. That look.........

It makes me imagine that if I were a NK citizen, I would not want to have her look at me that way. Maybe I didn't clap with enough fervour. Such an unhappy, cold hearted looking person.
I wonder if she was annoyed at the photographer for taking a picture when she didn't expect it.

10. Another temper tantrum. Seems a bit self-defeating.

12. Oh, they literally blew it up.

For a second, I thought they just figurative "blew it up," meaning they shuttered it.
