North Korea could destroy inter-Korean roads as early as Monday, the ROK military has announced, as tensions grow over DPRK trash balloons and alleged South Korean drone incursions.

Potential hostile actions include "demonstrative explosions" or "small provocations" on the Gyeongui and Donghae roads, as well as a space launch, Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) spokesperson Lee Sung-jun said in a briefing on Monday.
