They have installed screens on the road and are working behind those screens, preparing to blow up the roads," Lee Sung Joon, a spokesperson for South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters.
North Korea's Defense Ministry stated that they were 'getting fully ready to open fire' and warned that South Korea would 'turn into piles of ash' if attacked.
Koo Byoungsam of South Korea's Unification Ministry suggested the demolition preparations were aimed at strengthening internal unity within North Korea by uniting against a common enemy.
Experts believe that while an all-out attack by North Korea is unlikely due to South Korea's superior strength, the destruction of the roads would signify a setback for peace efforts.
