Roads cut off
North Korea continues to seal itself off from South Korea
In response to South Korean military maneuvers, North Korea is further sealing itself off from its southern neighbor. From Wednesday, all road and rail links to South Korea are to be cut and the border areas fortified, the state news agency KCNA reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army justified the move as a response to the latest South Korean military maneuvers.
The statement referred to South Korea as the "primary enemy state and unchanging main enemy". The frequent deployment of strategic US nuclear weapons in the region was cited as a further reason.
The situation in Korea is worsening
The latest developments in North Korea show an increasing escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula. North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un has intensified his missile tests and stepped up his nuclear rhetoric in recent months. At the same time, South Korea and the USA have expanded their military cooperation. Pyongyang sees the maneuvers as a provocation and an exercise for an invasion.
