Pyongyang reopens border

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) allowed ROK citizens across the border yesterday to manage factories that are a key source of currency for the nation, a day after severing all communication with its rival and barring all traffic through the heavily fortified zone.

Pyongyang on Monday cut off the only remaining military hot line between the two Koreas to protest joint US-ROK military exercises being held in the Republic of Korea (ROK).
