North Korea is dismantling a South Korea-built facility at its Diamond Mountain resort that hosted family reunions since 2009, amplifying tensions between the two Koreas. The South's government condemned the act as inhumane, considering legal and international measures in response. Relations have deteriorated significantly, with Pyongyang intensifying its nuclear program while discarding previous reconciliation efforts. The demolition follows years of heightened tensions, including a scrapping of military accords and North Korea’s designation of the South as a hostile state. This move further illustrates the complete breakdown of dialogue and cooperation between the two nations since 2019.
