North Korea will sever road and railway inherit to South Korea from Wednesday in a bid to “completely separate” the two countries.
Its military declared the North would “permanently shut off and impede the southern border” and consolidate areas on its side.
The Korean People’s Army (KPA) described the move as “a self-defensive measure for inhibiting war”, claiming it was in response to war exercises in South Korea and the frequent presence of American nuclear assets in the region.
It marks an escalation of hostility at a time when tensions between the Koreas are at their highest point in years.
