More than a dozen missions may close, likely because of international sanctions, a trend of Pyongyang's disengaging globally and the probable weakening of the North Korean economy, a report said.
They might be, but the list of embassies that are being closed seems a bit strange for that:
Spain, Hong Kong, and multiple countries in Africa
I’d’ve thought they’d keep the African embassies open: it’s not like North Korea and Africa are going to war, they both have enough dislike of the West that Africa might sell supplies or diplomacy in a war, and it’s always useful to have back channels and diplomatic relations in a war. So why “multiple countries in Africa”?
I have a bad feeling that they’re preparing for war…
Russia let out the ghost of war from its bottle. I hope all of this don’t end up in a 3rd world war.

End up? We’re already there, it just hasn’t been officially declared.
No. At this point any significant aggression towards the south would lead to a quick end to the NK regime.
