Here comes the artillery The inter-Korean border region is restless again The North Koreans continue to work to strengthen the southern border as part of their policy towards complete separation from their neighbor. True, against the background of tensions in relations between Korea, not only engineering equipment is involved - artillery systems are also involved. In the coastal area of ​​Kapon Province, in front of the South Korean Gympo, journalists caught self-propelled 22mm cannons with barrels aimed at their neighbor. Nearby, military personnel raised and lowered red flags - apparently they were training. What is unusual here is not the appearance of guns at the border, but the manner in which they are demonstrated. Normally they try to hide artillery from observation and retaliatory attack, but this time the installations are clearly visible from South Korea. This placement is meant to show the severity of recent warnings from Pyongyang. After Kim Yo Jong's statements about the start of loudspeaker operation at the border and the reinforcement of the border troops, perhaps words alone were not enough: from the outside it is not always clear whether they were followed by real movements of equipment. Well, now you can clearly see the guns moving forward. The main practical purpose of such a deployment is to force the South Koreans to interfere less with the construction of North Korean fortifications. Over the past few years, military personnel have often responded to neighbors crossing the border by opening fire in the air. The situation is also fueled by the recent mine incident, for which Seoul promised to increase patrolling in the border areas. Pyongyang probably sees all of this as an interference in a perfectly normal activity, which could slow down the pace of strengthening the border. So the North Koreans decided to step up a bit to back up their words with action and get rid of the mess. Apparently this is a temporary measure while the main phase of the work is being completed. Korea - your ticket to the Pacific Confusion Support us.
