Seoul says North Korea blew up roads leading to South Korea
The North Korean authorities have blown up a section of the road connecting the People's Republic of Korea and South Korea, the Combined Arms Command reported, citing the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
The move affected transport routes in the western and eastern parts of the Korean Peninsula, the report said.
The General Staff of the Korean People's Army announced on October 9 that it would close roads and railways with South Korea and "turn the southern border into a fortress." North Korea said it was taking "practical measures to establish consistent territorial boundaries."
