North Korea building border guard posts following spy satellite launch, South Korea says
Fox News
South Korea says North Korea is restoring guard posts along the border and is moving military assets around following the launch of a spy satellite.
The 2018 agreement required the two Koreas to halt aerial surveillance and live-fire exercises at no-fly and buffer zones that they established along the DMZ, as well as remove some of their front-line guard posts and land mines. The deal left South Korea with 50 board guard posts and North Korea with 150. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
After North Korea claimed to place its first military spy satellite into orbit, South Korea said it would partially suspend the deal and resume aerial surveillance along the DMZ. South Korea said its response was "a minimum defensive measure" because the launch showed the North's intentions to strengthen its monitoring of the South and improve its missile technology.
