Seoul, South Korea—North Korea blew up sections of the deeply symbolic roads connecting it to the South on Tuesday, Seoul's military said, adding it
Barricades are seen at a military checkpoint on the Tongil bridge, the road leading to North Korea's Kaesong city, in the border city of Paju on October 15, 2024. South Korea's military said it conducted"counter-fire" operations on October 15, near the heavily fortified border with the North after Pyongyang's military blew up sections of roads linking the two countries.
“North Korea has detonated parts of the Gyeongui and Donghae roads north of the Military Demarcation Line,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday, referring to inter-Korean infrastructure that once connected the two countries. “This is a practical military measure related to the hostile dual-state system that North Korea has frequently mentioned,” Yang Moo-jin, president of the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, told Agence France Presse .
More footage, apparently from after the blasts, showed excavators digging, while soldiers worked as large red trucks arrived. Later Tuesday, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un released a statement, saying Pyongyang has secured “clear evidence” that the South Korean military was behind the drones that reached Pyongyang.Activist groups in the South have long sent propaganda northwards, typically carried by balloons, but enthusiasts are also known to have flown small, hard-to-detect drones into the North.
