New footage from South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense reveals the moment North Korea detonated explosives to destroy roads linking it to South Korea.
This dramatic action follows North Korea’s recent declaration to sever the roads and railways, previously viewed as symbols of inter-Korean cooperation, in an effort to “completely separate” the two nations.
The Korean People’s Army (KPA) has characterized this explosive demolition as “a self-defensive measure to inhibit war,” asserting that it is a direct response to military exercises conducted in South Korea and the ongoing presence of American nuclear capabilities in the area.
This incident marks a significant escalation in hostilities amid soaring tensions between the two Koreas, reaching levels not seen in years.
