The breakup between the two Koreas lasted several hours

Today in the morning, the South Korean Ministry of Defense and the Ministry for the Unification of the Two Koreas made unsuccessful attempts to get in touch with the DPRK through special communication lines. These lines after a very long period of complete absence of contacts were connected in 2018.

The incident was reported by the South Korean agency Yonhap.

Since 2018, the military of the two Koreas have been contacting each day to resolve disputes and make joint decisions. Therefore, the silence of Pyongyang in Seoul was perceived with alarm. Moreover, the state news agency TsTAK of North Korea expressed disappointment with the Republic of Korea’s policy regarding the DPRK, and therefore the communication line is being closed today from 12:6.00 local time (or from XNUMX:XNUMX Moscow time).

Pyongyang previously threatened to break communications if North Korean citizens who fled to the South continue to freely send postcards and other correspondence to relatives in the DPRK.

On the part of the departments of South Korea, numerous and unsuccessful attempts have been made to contact their colleagues from Pyongyang today. In the end, according to Yonhap, the DPRK changed their anger to mercy, and after 12.00:XNUMX they answered the call from Seoul. Moreover, in the conversation there was not the slightest mention of the morning incident.

With comrades from the DPRK, jokes are bad. No wonder Seoul got nervous.

North Korea gave the right signal. There is a process of rapprochement of states. The Kyrgyz Republic should decide what is most important for them.

Pyongyang's silence in Seoul perceived with alarm

Was it scary?
But what about the bellicose statements, beating himself on the chest under the dictation of the United States towards the DPRK a year ago? And here for several hours "the subscriber is not available" and it’s time to run to the bunker, and the population to the bomb shelter. At least, this is almost how the media of Kazakhstan and some Western countries exaggerated the colors.

The subscriber was out of the network ... And in the south everyone was already scared. Nervous they are these South Koreans.

. Pyongyang previously threatened to break communications if North Korean citizens who fled to the South continue to freely send postcards and other correspondence to relatives in the DPRK.

This place I did not understand.
And how do they do it?

[Blackmokona]

Probably through China

Perhaps Eun was preoccupied with the more important thing, to lead a nuclear power, this is not to go to pancakes to mother-in-law.

it’s easy to divide and pit a single people ... there are many examples ... people don’t know how / do not want to think about problems and in their solution join the opinions of puppeteers ... hence the result

"Otkritki" to relatives is simply touching. These "otkritki" are sent to "relatives" in balloons and they contain only political propaganda information. And this is in conditions of an epidemic in South Korea when there is no guarantee that the "otkritki" do not contain carriers of the virus.

And put yourself in the shoes of the southerners. The northern neighbor is not a gift for them. Conflict situations have always been, and then suddenly the connection disappears? What could the southerners count? Anything. Starting from the fact that Comrade Eun left for another world and a coup took place in the DPRK, ending with the fact that in "twenty" minutes North Korea is ready to start offensive operations against the Republic of Korea. Of course, such a "disappearance of the connection" cannot but cause the other side to "tremble".

Do you seriously think that he is at the phone day and night? And if he was engaged in "important" business, what, there was no one to answer at the communication center ???
