NORTH KOREA: Per Yonhap: "North Korea appears to have dispatched soldiers to
some empty guard posts inside the Demilitarized Zone, sources said Thursday,
following its warnings that it would beef up its military presence in border
areas. On Wednesday, the General Staff of the (North) Korean People's Army vowed
to set up "civil police posts," which had been withdrawn from the DMZ under an
inter-Korean military agreement, as part of next steps against South Korea after
the demolition of the inter-Korean liaison office in the border town of Kaesong.
According to the military sources, several soldiers were spotted being
dispatched to empty sentry posts inside the buffer zone from late Wednesday."
