North Korea Closes Border with South Korea, Cuts Off Road and Rail Links

ai generated text

North Korea's military has threatened to sever all transportation networks connecting it to South Korea, including roads and railways, in response to war exercises and US strategic nuclear assets in South Korea. This move is part of a more aggressive stance, following North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's decision to abandon a policy of seeking peaceful reunification with South Korea.
