Pyongyang stopped answering calls from Seoul against the background of the planned joint teachings of South Korea and the United States, which will be held in the second half of August. This is reported by TASS with reference to the Anghap agency.
It is noted that the Special Channel of Communication between the countries was restored at the end of July. For the second day, the South Korean military are trying to reach the neighboring country, but the DPRK ignores these attempts.
USA and South Korea regularly conduct joint military exercises. This year they will be held for the second time. The exercises are scheduled for August 16-26.
July 27 reported that the DPRK and South Korea will restore the communication lines between the two countries. In addition, the leaders of the countries – Kim Jong Yun and Moon Zhe In – agreed to contribute to the restoration of confidence between Pyongyan and Seoul. After that, twice a day of the country held telephone conversations.
North Korea blocked all lines of communication with the southern summer of 2020, when the relationship between the two countries aggravated due to the shipment of antiphenyang activists in the South Korea of propaganda leaflets and materials on the territory of the North. A week later, the DPRK blew up the South Korean Coordination Bureau in the cross-border industrial complex Caeson.
