North Korea and South Korea: Roads and railway lines play a major role in increasing and strengthening the economy of any country. But today we are going to tell you about a country where the government itself is bombing the roads and railway lines built in its country. Just like India-Pakistan, there is tension between North Korea and South Korea. Both countries keep spewing venom against each other. Meanwhile, North Korea seems to be very unhappy with its neighboring country. North Korea has threatened war over drone intrusion, as well as started deploying nuclear-capable weapons on the border.
Kim is bombing the railway line
There has been a land dispute between North Korea and South Korea for decades. Both countries claim each other's land. But in January, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un declared South Korea its 'main enemy', completely breaking all relations. Since then, Kim Jong Un has increased weapons testing, bombed the South with garbage balloons, threatened war over drone intrusions, and bombed roads and railways connecting the countries.
A conspiracy to divert attention?
"North Korea is simply following through on what it said it would do," Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University, told AFP. "It reflects the North's determination to completely eliminate any basis for 'unification by absorption' in the South." Kim even said recently that his country was no longer interested in "liberating the South." Many parts of North Korea were hit by devastating floods this summer, destroying thousands of homes and farmland, killing and displacing people. Seoul officials have said Pyongyang may have plotted this latest round of conflict with the South to divert attention from growing domestic discontent.
