For decades, North Korea’s formal stated goal was a communist reunification of the peninsula. Now it’s reclassified South Korea as a “hostile state” at the earlier recommendation of Kim Jong Un.

North Korean state news agency KCNA on Thursday reported for the first time that the country had revised its constitution to define South Korea as a “hostile state.”

The change took place last week at a meeting of the country’s rubber-stamp legislature. It follows a proposal from Kim Jong Un in January, but past propaganda on revisions to the constitution had offered few details.
