North Korea Prepares to Demolish Roads to South Amid Rising Tensions

Signs indicate that North Korea is preparing to demolish northern sections of roads linking it with South Korea, which are currently unused. This development arises amid escalating tensions following North Korea's allegations that South Korean drones have been flying over its territory, as reported by the Associated Press.

South Korea's military announced today that it has detected activities by North Korea in preparation for the explosions, although the extent of the destruction remains unclear. The situation has intensified as North Korea accused South Korea of deploying drones to disperse propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang three times this month, threatening a forceful response if such actions continue.

Yesterday, North Korea's defense ministry revealed that military units near the South Korean border have been ordered to be fully prepared to open fire. A spokesperson asserted that South Korea could face devastating consequences, suggesting that the entire region could "turn into piles of ash" in the event of an attack.
