North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues to order fortifications in the DMZ, Seoul says.
Widespread flooding in North Korea has not stopped Kim Jong Un's regime from building fortifications on the country's contested border with the South, lawmakers in Seoul were told on Thursday.South Korea's Defense Ministry said a large number of the North's soldiers continue to be sent to front-line areas on the North's side of the Demilitarized Zone, the 2.5-mile buffer either side of the 160-mile Military Demarcation Line.
Signs include public discontent and desertion, with Seoul receiving the latest North Korean defector on Thursday at its western sea border.South Korea's defense report said the North launched 37 ballistic missiles and 11 cruise missiles this year. Seoul said Pyongyang was still preparing to put its second spy satellite into orbit following its abortive attempt in May.
