N Korea boosting capability to attack South: report
Seoul
NORTH KOREA has set up posts along its border with South Korea to be able to more quickly invade its neighbour, while also expanding its artillery and mechanised forces, according to South Korea's Defence Ministry.
Kim Jong Un's regime is setting up "infiltration facilities" along the demilitarised zone dividing the countries to be able to both accommodate and rapidly deploy special forces into South Korea if war breaks out, the ministry said in its latest white paper released on Tuesday. It didn't say how many posts there are or whether they included tunnels and housed weapons.
