As North Korea may be on the brink of a food catastrophe, the country has begun rationing food to soldiers for the first time in more than two decades, officials say.
The ministry noted a Feb. 6 report from North Korea’s state news agency KCNA about plans for an "urgent" ruling party meeting on agriculture. Such special meetings are rare, according to the South’s ministry. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Meanwhile, DongA Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper, reported Wednesday that the North has reduced daily food rations to its soldiers for the first time since 2000.
While the report could not be 100% confirmed, South Korea’s unification ministry said it and other agencies were monitoring the situation.
