North Korea exploded 10 of its own military guard posts on the demilitarized zone (DMZ) bordering South Korea as part of the peace process between the two countries. The two Koreas are also being reconnected by a road across the border for the first time in 14 years.

The South Korean Defense Ministry announced the demolition on social media and released accompanying photos and footage.
