North Korea is preparing to blow up its sections of inter-Korean roads, according to South Korean officials. This move follows weeks of soaring tensions between the two countries, with North Korea accusing Seoul of using drones to drop propaganda leaflets over its territory. Pyongyang has threatened to respond with force if it happens again. Meanwhile, South Korea's military has fired warning shots near the heavily fortified border with the North after Pyongyang blew up sections of the deeply symbolic roads linking the two countries. This escalation in tensions comes after North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un amended the constitution to remove language about reunification and declared the South his 'invariable principal enemy.'
