North Korea blows up roads near South Korean border as tensions soar

Описание к видео North Korea blows up roads near South Korean border as tensions soar

North Korea has blown up the northern sections of disused roads that connect it to South Korea, according to South Korea’s military.
Some parts of the road north of the military demarcation line dividing the two countries were blown up at about midday (03:00 GMT), the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a message sent to media on Tuesday.
The military fired warning shots south of the demarcation line, it said.
Seoul had warned on Monday that Pyongyang was preparing to blow up the roads.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have risen since North Korea accused its neighbour of sending drones carrying propaganda leaflets over the country’s capital Pyongyang.
South Korea’s military later released video footage of the blasts.
