Border warfare as tourists are sent packing

North Korea is kicking tourists out of a resort jointly operated with South Korea.
It has given South Koreans 72 hours to leave the resort at Mount Kumgang, which lies just inside North Korea.
Joint operations were suspended in 2008 after a South Korean
tourist was shot dead by a North Korean soldier.
North Korea has been threatening action over Mt Kumgang for months, warning Seoul to restart the lucrative tours – which bring hard currency into Pyongyang – or lose its assets.
“We consider that the South has completely given up all rights on properties owned by South Korean companies and now start legal disposal of them,” North Korea said in a statement.
