An artificial weapon hanging at the North Korean embassy in Malaysia was dropped. All of the North Korean embassy staff also withdrew. When North Korea declared a breakup over the extradition of North Korean criminals to the United States, Malaysia also ordered North Korean diplomats to leave the country two days ago.

A large bus appeared at the North Korean embassy in Malaysia where the artificial plane was unloaded.
This is a bus for evacuating embassy staff
North Korean Ambassador Kim Yoo-seong, who appeared in front of the embassy before the bus departed, accused the United States and Malaysia of trying to crush North Korea.

As North Korea blocked its borders due to Corona 19, they are expected to wait after withdrawing to China.
Earlier, Malaysian authorities ordered all North Korean embassy employees to leave the country two days ago.
This is a retaliatory measure for North Korea’s declaration of a break-out for taking over to the United States a North Korean criminal who violated sanctions against North Korea and laundered money.
As North Korea-Malaysia relations are completely cut off, it is noteworthy how North Korea will take action against the United States as the next step.
North Korea warned of the price, saying that the driver behind the incident was the United States.
However, North Korea, which issued a series of warnings against the United States last week, has been silent for the second day.
It seems that the situation is being analyzed, such as the results of the US Secretary of State and Defense Ministers’ visit to Korea and Japan, and the conflict between the US and China at high-level talks.
