North Korea Prepares to Demolish Roads amid Escalating Tensions
Recent signs suggest that North Korea is gearing up to destroy unused sections of roads connecting it with South Korea, signaling heightened tensions in the region. The escalating situation follows North Korea’s claims of South Korean drones flying over its territory, as reported by the Associated Press.
South Korea’s military has confirmed the North’s activities in preparation for the demolitions, although the full extent of the destruction remains uncertain. North Korea has accused South Korea of sending drones to drop propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang, prompting threats of a forceful response.
In response, North Korea’s defense ministry has instructed military units near the South Korean border to be ready to open fire. The spokesperson warned of catastrophic consequences, hinting at widespread destruction in the event of an attack.
While South Korea has not verified the drone deployment allegations, it has vowed a stern reaction to any threats against its citizens. North Korea had previously announced plans to seal its border and construct defense installations in response to perceived provocations from South Korean and US forces.
