Well this railroad track go into South and North Korea so I don' get it
South Korea's military said it fired warning shots near its heavily fortified border on Tuesday after North Korean forces reportedly destroyed roads along the border.
It comes days after the North vowed to permanently seal off its southern border.
What did Seoul say about the roads?
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Pyongyang "conducted an explosive operation aimed at blocking the connection roads" on Tuesday.
As a response, the South Korean military said it "conducted counter-fire in areas south of the military demarcation line."
South Korea's military provided a video that showed a cloud of white and gray smoke emerging from an explosion at a road near the border town of Kaesong. Another video showed smoke emerging from a coastal road near the eastern border.
Although the roads and railways connecting the two countries have long been shut down, North Korean state media reported that the new measures were aimed at safeguarding national security and preventing war.
Earlier this year, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared the South his country's "principal enemy" and since then, the regime has laid fresh mines, erected anti-tank barriers, and deployed missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads along the already heavily fortified border.
