Pyongyang will cut off inter-Korean hotlines with Seoul, the government has threatened, insisting the south stop defectors from sending leaflets and other material across the DMZ, North Korean media reported.
Insisting the south must “pay the price” for tolerating “anti-Republican acts,” on Tuesday the North Korean government said it would begin severing communications with Seoul, starting with a number of hotlines established between the two sides.
“The direct communication line between the Central Committee headquarters building and the Blue House will be completely blocked and discarded,” Pyongyang said, as cited by the KCNA, further vowing to end two other hotlines, including one between the two countries’ militaries.
