North Korea has launched a military operation to completely cut off road and rail links with South Korea as part of a new territorial demarcation policy.
Pyongyang also called its southern neighbor a “hostile state,” the DPRK Central Telegraph Agency said in a statement.
Reuters writes that sixty-meter sections of road and railways on the northern side of the border are now completely blocked as part of the phased complete separation of North Korean territory from the south.
North Korea will take further steps to “permanently strengthen its closed southern border,” a defense official said, but made no mention of any other constitutional changes that leader Kim Jong-in has ordered.
Earlier this week, North Korea blew up its portion of the roads connecting to South Korea. We are talking about the destruction of highways along the southwestern border.
In January, Kim Jong Un called for a constitutional amendment to end unification as a goal of ties with the south, accusing Seoul of colluding with the United States to force the collapse of its communist regime and a clear definition of its territory.
