SEOUL — North Korea posted a new propaganda video Friday, showing paratroopers descending on Seoul in an invasion scenario that envisages taking around 150,000 US residents in South Korea hostage.
The four-minute video, titled “A Short, Three-Day War”, begins with images of a massive artillery and rocket barrage, followed by a large-scale land and air assault with North Korean troops streaming over the border.
A male narrator then describes how “crack storm troops will occupy Seoul and other cities and take 150,000 US citizens as hostages.”
The video was posted on the North’s official website, Uriminzokkiri, which distributes news and propaganda from the state media.
It comes at a time of escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula, with multiple threats from North Korea of an armed response to joint South Korea-US military drills and to UN sanctions imposed after its nuclear test last month.
On Thursday, the North Korean military threatened strikes on US military bases in Japan and Guam.
