North Korea dismantles power lines that supplied electricity from South

Removal of ROK-built infrastructure that powered Kaesong Industrial Complex marks latest step to sever inter-Korean ties

North Korea is removing ROK-built power lines that used to transmit electricity from the South to a joint industrial complex on the other side of the border, the South Korean military said Tuesday.

The demolition near the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) marks the latest step by Pyongyang to sever all connections between the two Koreas, after it blew up major inter-Korean road and railway lines last month.
