North Korea has completely cut off communications with South Korea in the eastern and western parts of the peninsula.
This applies to both road and rail communications.
It is emphasized that this measure was taken within the framework of the policy of territorial demarcation with the Republic of Korea.
TASS reports this with reference to the Korean Central Telegraph Agency.
Attention was also drawn to the statement of the DPRK Ministry of Defense.
Thus, a representative of the North Korean defense department announced plans to “turn the southern border into a fortress.”
Blowing up roads in Korea
Let us recall that on Tuesday, October 15, it became known about a serious situation related to inter-Korean roads.
It was reported that sections of the communication lines were blown up by the North Korean side.
Pyongyang said the measures were taken amid a difficult situation "that is on the brink of war."
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea also declared a "provocation by hostile forces."
The North Korean side emphasized that the blowing up of sections of transport lines did not lead to a deterioration of the environmental situation.
