Earlier this year, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared the South his country's 'principal enemy' and since then, the regime has laid fresh mines, erected anti-tank barriers, and deployed missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads along the already heavily fortified border.
Although the roads and railways connecting the two countries have long been shut down, North Korean state media reported that the new measures were aimed at safeguarding national security and preventing war.
South Korea's military shared footage of explosions along inter-Korean roads, demonstrating the rising tensions and the potential for escalation along the heavily fortified border.
North Korea's explosive operation, destruction of roads, and the warlike rhetoric from both sides signal a dangerous escalation in inter-Korean relations amid accusations of drone incursions.
