Recent commercial satellite images have revealed that North Korea has dug at least two large trenches across roads and rail lines on its heavily armed border with South Korea. This development comes after North Korea blew up sections of cross-border routes earlier this month, escalating tensions between the two Koreas.
The satellite images captured by Planet Labs PBC show a trench cut across a road and a rail line in the western part of the Demilitarized Zone between the Koreas. The first signs of these trenches appeared shortly after North Korea staged demolitions of key infrastructure near the border.
