Breaking: Military officials in the Republic of Korea (ROK) reported that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has detonated sections of two key inter-Korean roads north of the Military Demarcation Line. The move, confirmed by the ROK’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, targeted the Gyeongui and Donghae routes – once symbols of cross-border cooperation.
In response, ROK forces boosted military readiness, signaling heightened alertness across the region. Meanwhile, China urged restraint, with Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stating:
\"All parties must work to prevent escalation and uphold peace on the Korean Peninsula.\"
Why it matters: Tensions between the DPRK and ROK have simmered for years, but this latest action raises concerns about regional stability. Analysts suggest it could impact future diplomatic efforts, including stalled denuclearization talks. With China emphasizing de-escalation, global eyes remain locked on Northeast Asia.
