It's a South Korean broadcast and a road blast.Tensions of North Koreans in the North Korean Border Region

[Anchor]
Residents of the border region complained of anxiety as North Korea continued to cut off the inter-Korean relations by blowing up roads on the Gyeongui and Donghae lines.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter YOO JI HYUN!

[Reporter]
Yes, it is located at the Peace Observatory in Ganghwa Island, Incheon.

[Anchor]
The place behind reporter Yoo is North Korean land, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's a little foggy, but the place behind me is Samdal-ri, Daesung-myeon, North Korea.

This is within the civilian entry and exit control line, and it is close enough to see the North Korean region.

The reporters have been out since the morning, but so far, they have been quiet without much movement.

North Korea blew up some sections of the East Sea Line and Gyeongui Line connecting the two Koreas yesterday.

Previously, he insisted on infiltrating the drone and ordered preparation for forward fire.

As North Korea strengthens inter-Korean disconnection measures, tensions in the border area here are increasing day by day.

This situation is leading to damage to local residents.

The residents whom the YTN reporters met had difficulty sleeping at night due to the noise of the South Korean broadcast,
He said his anxiety grew as he blew up the
road.

Let's hear the voices of the residents of the border area.

[Jang Sun-ok / Border Area resident: (The broadcast in Daenam) is neither animal nor ghost, there is no melody. a very strange sound without emotion They make that sound. You can't sleep if you wake up. [Everyone said that]

[Lee Kyung-ja / Border Area Resident: I was lying down in the evening and watching the news, and they just blew it up like that. I don't feel good. I'm nervous. I wonder why they keep doing that and I'm nervous.]

Neighboring local governments have also responded.

Ganghwa-gun and Ongjin-gun in Incheon have been opening 140 evacuation facilities 24 hours a day since yesterday.

In Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do, security tourism has been temporarily suspended, which has hindered residents' livelihoods.

Paju City resumed security tourism in the Demilitarized Zone from 9 a.m. today after consultation with the military unit.

However, as it is not known when North Korea will launch provocations, residents' anxiety is expected to continue for the time being.

So far, I'm YTN's Yusohyun at the Ganghwa Island Peace Observatory.
