Wall of Distrust Between Two Koreas Breaks

South Korean Army soldiers from the 7th Infantry Division are breaking propaganda signboards at the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) area of the Central and East front line in Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon Province on July 27. South and North Korea agreed to remove propaganda signboards in the MDL area last year, but the two Koreas resumed the practice recently. The halt was temporarily made due to tightened relations between the two Koreas.
