Abandoning the inter-Korean military pact could mean the return of the guard posts, live-fire drills in the former no-fly zone and propaganda broadcasts across the border
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said on Wednesday he would consider suspending a 2018 inter-Korean military pact if the North violates its airspace again, his office said, amid tension over a recent intrusion by North Korean drones.
The 2018 deal, sealed on the sidelines of a summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, calls for ceasing “all hostile acts”, creating a no-fly zone around the border, and removing landmines and guard posts within the heavily fortified demilitarized Zone. The government has not said how many mines and posts were removed, citing security concerns.
During the election campaign last year, Yoon said Pyongyang had repeatedly breached the agreement with missile launches and warned he might scrap it. He said after taking office that the pact’s fate hinges on the North’s actions. South Korea’s army operated two drone squadrons within its Ground Operations Command since 2018, but they were primarily designed to prepare for future warfare.
