Enraged, Kim Jong Un blocks everything
Kim Jong Un has announced that he will cut off all access to South Korea, including roads and railways connecting the two neighboring countries.
This "self-defense" measure comes as relations between the two nations have become increasingly strained in recent weeks, especially after South Korea showcased its modern arsenal during its Armed Forces Day celebrations.
The North Korean regime has tightened its border with the South, adding mines and barriers, and creating a no-man’s land just beyond the demilitarized zone, according to The Telegraph.
The North Korean military explained these actions were in response to South Korea’s numerous military exercises and the frequent presence of U.S. nuclear warheads in the region, BBC reports.
In a statement published by the state media outlet KCNA, the North Korean army said: "The acute military situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula requires the armed forces of the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] to take a more resolute and stronger measure in order to more creditably defend the national security."
This move is seen as largely symbolic, since the roads and railways between the two countries are rarely used.
