North Korea , blew up streets near the border on each part of the , Asian Peninsula , on Tuesday, in another show of cutting ties with the South.
Exploding the inter-Korean routes north of the border on the east and west garments, which had already been dismantled by , North Korea, is thought to be a “largely metaphorical move”, an established from , South Korea ‘s , Joint Chiefs of Staff , told reporters in a closed-door presentation.
Tuesday’s shift is a “dramatic representation” of the recently announced shutdown of the roads paved by , South Korea , in a past period of inter-Korean exchanges and teamwork, the JCS national said.
” This seems to be , North Korea ‘s , way of saying they refuse exchanges”, he said.
The explosion was not particularly violent, according to the JCS official, and only superficial damage was caused by some workers who appeared to be taking pictures of the stunt behind a screen that was n’t too far away.
After that, you may see North Korean workers raking up the pavements, and the damage was n’t as much as you would have expected, he said.
From late next month,  , North Korea , had now begun laying mines and putting up barriers around the streets and railroads leading to the South, properly blocking any vacation.
In addition to the extraordinary consequence,  , North Korea , was attempting to indicate to the United Nations Command to perform a mediator position in new escalations with the South around the , Demilitarized Zone, the JCS national said.
Last year,  , North Korea , made a rare shift of notifying the UN Command about its strategies for “fortifying” the areas north of the military boundary line multiplying the , Korean Peninsula.
” North Korea , appears to be trying to achieve different results, such as signaling to the US or the UN Command to resolve the ongoing activities with , South Korea”, the JCS national said.
The standard added the North Korean Respondents “expects” the UN Command, which oversees the , Demilitarized Zone , between North and South Koreas, to “make a speech” on potential violations of the Korean War ceasefire agreement by the North.
” We see the frontier activities by , North Korea , to become Korean War truce breaches”, he said.
After playing channels of warning texts many times, the South Vietnamese military fired warning shots at the ground north of the boundary line on Tuesday to deter more threatening moves from the North, according to the JCS.
The JCS stated in a text to reporters on Tuesday that North Korea, which has caused harmful bombs near to our doorstep, bears full responsibility for the present situation. The condition with , North Korea , was” under power and being managed”, it added.
Reiterating the message by the JCS,  , Seoul ‘s , Ministry of Unification , in charge of inter-Korean affairs said in a statement that , North Korea , blasting parts of the roads on both sides of the , Korean Peninsula , was” an extremely abnormal measure”.
The government said , North Korea , was once again pulling a “once-sided work” as it did four years ago when it blasted the inter-Korean joint liaison company four years ago.
The roads destroyed by , North Korea , cost the South some$ 132 million to construct following the summit between former South Korean President , Kim Dae-jung , and , Kim Jong-un ‘s , father and then-North Korean leader , Kim Jong-il.
” North Korea , is fully responsible for the destruction of inter-Korean streets and railways”, the department added.
