North Korea's military said it will cut off all roads and railways connected to South Korea starting Wednesday and build "strong defense structures" in the areas in response to South Korea-US military maneuvers. "A project will be launched first on October 9 to completely cut off roads and railways connected to" South Korea and "fortify the relevant areas of our side with strong defense structures," the general staff of the North Korean People's Army said in a report, cited by Yonhap News Agency. North Korea said it was taking a "more resolute and stronger measure" in response to the "acute military situation" on the Korean Peninsula, citing South Korean military exercises staged near the border and visits by US strategic nuclear assets to the region. North Korea's military said it sent a telephone message to the U.S. military in South Korea today morning to "prevent any misjudgment and accidental conflict over the fortification project."
