South Korea announced on Monday that North Korea has started preparations to blow up symbolic inter-Korean roads in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, signaling a further deterioration of relations between the two countries. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's recent efforts to cut ties with South Korea and designate them as the "principal enemy" could lead to the destruction of these roads as early as Monday. This comes after North Korea's Defense Ministry threatened to "open fire" on South Korea in response to alleged drone flights over North Korean territory. However, experts believe a preemptive strike by North Korea is unlikely given the military imbalance between the two Koreas and the U.S. tensions. This is seen as a ploy by North Korea to create unity and leverage in future negotiations with the U.S.
