North Korea redeploys troops to surveillance posts along DMZ after withdrawing from military agreement with South Korea
SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea has redeployed troops and equipment at the front-line guard posts within the Demilitarized Zone after withdrawing from a military agreement with South Korea last week.
The North Korean military has been spotted re-installing surveillance posts, according to surveillance footage provided by the South Korean military Monday.
Photos taken by the South Korean Defense Ministry show temporary structures made of wood in eleven locations where they had blown up along the border in accordance with the inter-Korean military agreement signed on September 19, 2018.
"South Korean military is closely monitoring North Korean military's movements at the frontline area and maintaining readiness posture accordingly," South Korea's Defense Ministry spokesperson Jeon Ha-kyu said during a press briefing Monday.
South Korean Joint Chief of Staff Kim Myung-soo pointed out to reporters that it was the North Koreans who withdrew from the implementation of the "9-19 North-South military agreement" and "because it is North Korea that broke the trust, we will take corresponding measures."
