North Korea vows to block and fortify border with South

The North Korean military’s General Staff Department announced that the roads and railways connected to South Korea near the Demilitarized Zone will be severed completely, starting October 9th.

The North Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said that structures will be built to fortify the country and that the regime is taking military measures to separate North Korean and South Korean territories.  North Korea had been building barricades and barbed wire fences, taking apart roads, and burying mines since spring.
