Seoul, South Korea—North Korea’s army said Wednesday it was moving to “permanently shut off and block the southern border” with Seoul and had informed the US military to prevent an accidental clash.
The nuclear-armed country had been expected to scrap a landmark inter-Korean agreement signed in 1991 at a key parliamentary meeting that ended Tuesday, part of leader Kim Jong Un’s drive to officially define the South as an enemy state. It added it had sent a telephone message to US forces Wednesday morning to “prevent any misjudgement and accidental conflict over the fortification project to be launched in the acute southern border area.”
In June, the South Korean military said North Korean soldiers tasked with reinforcing the border had suffered “multiple casualties” from landmine explosion incidents.
