In the summer of 2020, North Korea blocked all communication lines with southern. Then the relationship between the two countries aggravated due to the shipment of antipheyan activists in the South Korea of propaganda leaflets and materials on the territory of the North. On June 16, 2020, North Korea blew up the Coordination Bureau in the Industrial Kaison Complex. Since then, relations remained tense.
