In Korea, the demolition of border posts in the demilitarized zone began

The DPRK and South Korea began to dismantle border posts in the demilitarized zone, Yonhap reports with reference to the South Korean Minister of Defense Chon Kyong Du.

Each of the parties removed the troops and military equipment from 11 posts on its part. At the same time, the South Korean military began to bury posts with excavators.

The liquidation of border guards in the demilitarized zone is provided for by a comprehensive military agreement between the two Koreas signed in September. Now South Korea has more than 60 posts on the border, northern - more than 160.

Both sides also made a mine in the border village of Phanmunge - the only place on the border between the two Korea, where the soldiers of both countries come closer. The North Korean side removed 636 minutes; Seoul, in turn, states that there was no min on his part.

After the removal of weapons and demolition of the guard, Phanmunjoma remains 35 unarmed military each of the parties. In the village, negotiations are held on the unification of Korea.

On September 19, at negotiations in Pyongyang, the North Korean dictator Kim Jong -un and President of South Korea Moon Jae Insigned a number of measures to restore relations between countries and reduce the risk of military operations. In addition to the dismantling of posts on the border, it is about the creation of 10 kilometers wide along the two countries of the buffer zone - field maneuvers and artillery exercises will be prohibited in it. The parties pledged to "stop all hostile actions" at sea, land in the air and "practically eliminate the danger of war." Kim Jong -un, in turn, agreed to dismantle the largest North Korean nuclear facility - the research center in Yonben, where splitting materials for nuclear weapons are allegedly produced.

Pyongyang and Seoul agreed during this year to combine roads and railways, separated by the border between the two countries. The two countries also agreed to submit a joint application for the 2032 summer Olympic Games.
