Suryaa Now International Desk: In the wake of rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, border security violations from the North Korean side will be strictly enforced... South Korea has made it clear that it will respond most severely to border security violations from the North Korean side amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The Seoul government has expressed deep concern over border disputes and the threat of military confrontation between the two countries.
In recent times, South Korean authorities have issued warnings about North Korean soldiers repeatedly crossing the border and violating regulations. It has made it clear that we will not ignore any actions that disturb the regional peace and we are fully prepared to protect the sovereignty of the country. Although South Korea has previously proposed military talks to avoid escalating clashes in border areas and reduce unwanted tensions, positive response from Pyongyang has been lacking.
South Korean sources have said that the construction and provocative actions by North Korean military forces along the border pose a threat to regional stability. Seoul's top officials have said that if such provocations continue, there will be a price to pay, and that they will retaliate both militarily and strategically. South Korea's Ministry of Defense has taken steps to strengthen border security while respecting international norms.
