The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) exploded parts of the roads connected to South Korea after Pyongyang's last week announcement to cut off all inter-Korean roads and railways, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday.
South Korea's military fired warning shots south of the military demarcation line dividing the two countries after the explosion.
Regarding the South Korean side's remarks, the DPRK has had no response yet.
On Oct. 9, the DPRK said it would permanently block its border with South Korea and build front-line defense structures starting from that day.

U.S. President Donald Trump told lawmakers on Friday that the war against Iran has "terminated," as the military action -- which was launched without Congressional approval -- has reached a 60-day legal deadline.
"There has been no exchange of fire between the United States and Iran since April 7, 2026," Trump was quoted by Politico as saying in a letter to congressional leaders.
"The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated," Trump said.
The latest move is "an effort to quelch the fight over the need for Congress to approve the conflict," the report said.
Under the War Powers Resolution adopted in 1973, the president -- after notifying Congress of the use of military force -- must terminate the action within 60 days, unless Congress authorizes continued military action.
The United States and Israel launched major combat operations against Iran on Feb. 28. The Trump administration formally notified Congress on March 2 of the military action, meaning the 60-day legal deadline would expire on May 1.
