SEOUL, South Korea — The South Korean government has reported that North Korea has demolished sections of the previously utilized roads in the northern region that connect the two Koreas.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed that this act took place on Tuesday.
In response to this provocative move, the South Korean military is enhancing its readiness and alertness.
This escalation aligns with the increasing tensions between the two nations, spurred by North Korea’s allegations that South Korea has conducted surveillance missions using drones over its capital city, Pyongyang.
The situation highlights the fragile state of relations between the Koreas, as both nations grapple with mutual distrust and military posturing.
