North Korea has warned that “war may break out any moment” after South Korea allegedly flew drones into Pyongyang - and it retaliated by destroying roads linking the countries.
The stark warning came after the country’s foreign ministry claimed that South Korean drones carrying propaganda leaflets critical of leader Kim Jong-un had flown over the North Korean capital Pyongyang three times. They claimed that the drones carrying leaflets filled with “inflammatory rumours and rubbish” were flown over the city on October 3, 9 and 10.
The North then blew up sections of road that, while not in use, are seen as symbolic of efforts to improve ties and, eventually, reunite the peninsula.
“North Korea has detonated parts of the Gyeongui and Donghae roads north of the military demarcation line,” the South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff said, adding that the South had boosted its military readiness in response.
North Korea says its military is on standby to unleash “firepower” with the North Korean defence ministry warning on Monday that “war may break out any moment” on the Korean peninsula. North Korean army chiefs added that South Korea “might turn into piles of ashes” for launching the drone "attack".
