Seoul has demanded that Pyongyang provide advance notification if it decides to open floodgates on a river that runs into the South, according to the unification ministry, after North Korea failed to answer inter-Korean hotline calls on Tuesday morning.
The ministry explained in a statement that “the communication connection between the South and the North is unstable,” emphasizing the “urgency of the matter” as heavy rains and flooding hit the DPRK.
