SEOUL, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- North Korea blew up sections of two roads connecting with the South, Seoul's military said Tuesday, as a tense stand-off over cross-border provocations continues.

"The North Korean military carried out an act of detonation on October 15 at around 12:00 with the presumed purpose of blocking the connecting roads in the Gyeongui line and Donghae line areas, and is currently conducting additional work using heavy equipment," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message to reporters.
