كوريا الشمالية تفجر طرقاً حدودية

October 15, 2024 - فجرت كوريا الشمالية أجزاء من طريقين رئيسيين متصلين بالجزء الجنوبي من شبه الجزيرة، بعد أن حذرت بيونغ يانغ من أنها ستتخذ خطوات لقطع روابط النقل عبر الحدود.

Pyongyang’s military last week vowed to permanently seal its southern border after spending months laying mines and building anti-tank barriers in the wake of leader Kim Jong Un declaring the South his country's “principal enemy”.

Last week North Korea accused Seoul of using drones to drop anti-regime propaganda leaflets on the capital Pyongyang, with Kim convening a security meeting to direct a plan of “immediate military action” in response, state media reported Tuesday.

“North Korea has detonated parts of the Gyeongui and Donghae roads north of the Military Demarcation Line,” South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday, referring to inter-Korean infrastructure that once connected the two countries.

“There has been no damage to our military, and our forces conducted counter-fire in areas south of the MDL,” it added, according to AFP.
