In the middle of last month, North Korea, which blew up some of the roads on the north side of the Gyeongui and Donghae lines, piled up piles of dirt to block tanks on both roads.

The South Korean military said it does not appear to have military utility and that it appears to be a show to indicate that North Korea is its own land.

This is the northern section of the East Sea Line, which appeared about 10 days after the bombing on the 15th of last month.

A concrete anti-tank with a depth of 5m and a depth of 10m, that is, a pit for blocking the tram, has been created.

The length of the pit from side to side was found to be 160 meters.

After that, a pile of dirt 5m high and 50m long was piled up, and the length across the road is 160m.

Similar work was carried out on the Gyeongui Line.

However, the height of the dirt pile was slightly higher at 11m, and the left and right lengths were 120m, which was shorter than the East Sea Line.

Earlier, the North Korean General Staff announced that it would completely cut off and fortify roads and railways connected to the Republic of Korea, but related facilities appeared in about 10 days.

[Lee Sung-joon / Joint Chiefs of Staff: The military is closely monitoring the movements of the North Korean military in the area because it is possible for the North to push through its land to fill the anti-tank and create a Invasion from North Korea route in a short period of time]An official from

said North Korea has continued its work by deploying 300 to 400 personnel every day until the 1st.

However, he said that there is no military utility to a level that can be restored in a short period of time, and that it seems to be a show to mark his land.

He added that while it was not known whether North Korea would do additional work on the facility, there are currently no workers in sight.
