PYONGYANG - The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Friday it will sever the emergency hot line with Seoul and nullify their non-aggression agreements.

"The DPRK abrogates all agreements on nonaggression reached between the North and the South," the country's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) said in a statement carried by the official news agency KCNA.

"The DPRK will close the Panmunjom liaison channel between the North and the South," it added.
