SEOUL — North Korea says young people are signing up for milit service in droves after South Korea violated its airspace last week, in what appears to be the latest attempt by Pyongyang to drum up domestic support for its nuclear weapons program.
More than 1.4 million North Koreans volunteered to join or rejoin the milit on Monday and Tuesday, determined to punish those who “committed a hideous crime” and a “serious provocation,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Wednesday.
