Due to its increasing ballistic missile activities, the government of Malaysia has banned its citizens from travelling to North Korea led by defiant and headstrong leader, Kim Jong Un.
The
government of Malaysia made the development known after its foreign
ministry announced the ban in a statement Thursday and said that it
would last until further notice.
The statement cited North Korea’s
missile tests and related developments. North Korea has been targeted
in recent months by stricter sanctions and increasing diplomatic
pressure, with Kuwait and Mexico expelling its envoys in recent weeks.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump declared that the US is ready to take military option against Pyongyang.
Trump
made the comments while reacting to reports of a North Korean threat to
shoot down American bombers, after what the country through it foreign
minister called a declaration of war.
He declared that the US is
“totally prepared” to take a military option against North Korea, saying
“it will be devastating” to Pyongyang.
The increasingly heated
rhetoric between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is raising
fears of a risk of a miscalculation by one side or the other that could
have massive repercussions.
