-- North Korea withdrew from an office it set up with South Korea about six months ago that allowed the rivals to communicate around the clock, dealing a blow to President Moon Jae-in’s rapprochement efforts.

Earlier Friday, the North Korean news site Uriminzokkiri criticized the Unification Ministry as “cowardly” for cooperating with the U.S. on sanctions enforcement.
