North Korea blew up the northern parts of inter-Korean roads, amid rising tensions over the North’s claim that South Korea flew drones over its capital.

South Korea’s military said it fired warning shots near its heavily fortified border on Tuesday after North Korean forces reportedly destroyed roads along the border.

It comes days after the North vowed to permanently seal off its southern border.

    North Korean troops are in Ukraine to gain valuable experience in modern combat, and bring it back to the DPRK. As well as to serve as technical advisors and in theater support personnel for North Korean systems being deployed by Russia.

    They aren’t there as a reserve source of cannon fodder, or secondary invasion force. Some have already died, and more will, but they’re not there and enough numbers to seriously weaken their domestic security concerns, and that’s not their purpose.
