In a bid to” fully separate” the two nations, North Korea may lose road and railroad access to South Korea from Wednesday.
The North would “permanently shut off and stop the southern boundary” and protect areas along its side, according to its defense.
The move was criticized by the Korean People’s Army (KPA ) as” a self-defensive measure for preventing war,” claiming that it was in response to South Korean military exercises and American nuclear arsenals frequently present in the area.
At a time when the Koreans ‘ conflicts are at their highest level in years, there has been an increase of antagonism.
According to the KPA, the” Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” needs to take a more strong and stronger measure in order to more effectively protect the country’s protection in a report released by state media shop KCNA.
Pyongyang’s decision to declare itself is essentially symbolic. Often used and have the roads and railroads that connect North Korea to the South been gradually destroyed by North Vietnamese government over the past year.
It comes as a result of a wider push by Pyongyang to alter its relationship with the South, and it comes as a result of a number of uprisings that have harmed bilateral ties.
From missile tests to plenty of garbage balloons being sent over the southern border of North Korea, those incidents have been reported.
Importantly, Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, made the announcement at the start of 2023 that he was no longer working toward reconciliation, raising fears that war might resurface on the Korean island.
” I think it is necessary to revise some contents of the Constitution of the DPRK”, Kim said at a meeting of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly ( SPA ) in January.
” In my view, it is necessary to delete for expressions in the constitution as ‘ north half’ and ‘ independence, peaceful reunification and great regional unity,'” he added, suggesting that the constitution may be revised “at the second session”.
That second conference was held this year, and concluded on Tuesday. Although many observers had anticipated Pyongyang to accept Kim’s earlier statements and make constitutional changes to frontier and unification policies, no such changes were made public.
According to one researcher at the Korea Institute for National Unification, Pyongyang might be awaiting the outcome of the US vote before making any specific choices.
Officers” consider adjusting the level of constitutional adjustments to align with the direction of the new ( US) management,” Hong Min told news agency AFP.
Conversations during the SPA treatment led to North Korea’s determination to halt all roads and railroads connecting it to the South.
