The DPRK authorities will block roads and railways with South Korea due to the military activity of Seoul and Washington.
As the KCNA North Korean news agency reports with reference to the Korean People’s Army (KNA), the decision comes into force on Wednesday, October 9th
“From October 9, construction work will be carried out aimed at a full breakdown of road and railways in the territory of the People’s Republic connecting the DPRK with the Republic of Korea, and to turn defensive structures into a fortress,” the General Staff of KNA notes.
South Korea in KNA was called “unchanged enemy state” and “constant main enemy.”
It is noted, the decision to “forever block and block” the border adjacent to South Korea is the necessary measure of self -defense, restraining war and ensuring security.
The measure will be a response to the “serious situation in the area of the southern border” of the republic. Military exercises were mentioned in KNA, which are daily and at the same time conducted in the territory of South Korea, bordering on the PRC in the south.
“Acute military situation on the Korean Peninsula requires our military adoption of more decisive and powerful measures for a more reliable protection of the country’s security,” the
said in KNA.
The American military presence in South Korea has continued since the Korean War of 1950-53. There are still 28 thousand American soldiers in the country. The separation of North and South Korea remains one of the unresolved issues of the Cold War.
