Quote from Reuters - North Korea demolished parts of inter-Korean roads and rail lines along the border, prompting South Korea's military to fire warning shots. Tensions have escalated, with Pyongyang declaring its intention to cut off these cross-border links as part of its move towards a "two-state" system, abandoning its previous unification goals.
South Korea condemned the destruction as a violation of past agreements. The North has been fortifying its border, installing landmines and barriers. These tensions follow accusations by the North that South Korea had flown drones over Pyongyang, which it claimed were used to scatter anti-North leaflets.
