Move comes after Seoul suspended work at venue of inter-Korean cooperation in wake of rocket launch
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea decided on Thursday to shut down a jointly run factory park with the Republic of Korea just a day after Seoul's announcement to stop operations at the industrial zone in the DPRK border city of Kaesong.
A statement from the DPRK's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland said the DPRK would deport all ROK citizens staying at the Kaesong Industrial Complex by 5:30 pm local time.
