North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ordered front-line troops to have full combat readiness against South Korea, the North's Korean Central Television reported Friday.

Kim declared a quasi-state of war, after two Koreas exchanged fire across the western border the previous day.

The North Korean leader convened a meeting of the ruling party's central military commission to order chief commanders to prepare for military operations,

"Commanders of the Korean People's Army were hastily dispatched to the front-line troops to command military operations to destroy psychological warfare tools if the enemy does not stop the propaganda broadcast within 48 hours and prepare against the enemy's possible counteractions," the broadcaster said.
