The destruction of roads and rail lines is an “inevitable and legal response” to provocations by Seoul, Pyongyang has said
North Korea’s border with the “absolutely hostile state” of South Korea will become an “eternal fortress,” Pyongyang has vowed, while confirming reports of the destruction of road and rail links with its neighbor.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Thursday that earlier this week Pyongyang’s forces blew up 60-meter stretches of road and rail lines along the east and west sections of the border “as part of the phased complete separation” of the North and South.
The agency cited a representative of the North Korean Defense Ministry as saying that “further measures will be taken to turn the blocked southern border into an eternal fortress.”
