China warns of escalating tensions on Korean peninsula after North blows up roads to South

North Korea  blew up sections of deeply symbolic roads connecting it to the South on October 15, 2024, according to the South Korean military, which has responded with a “counter-fire” operation. Officials in the North accused the South of using drones to drop anti-regime propaganda leaflets on its capital Pyongyang last week. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un threatened to take “immediate military action” if the drone flights continued.
