The Ministry of Unification said that our side tried to call through the inter-Korean joint liaison office this morning (28th), but North Korea did not respond.
An official from the Ministry of Unification said that he tried several times to open the liaison office this morning, but there was no response from the North, and there was no response from the North on the communication line through the machine room at Panmunjom.
The official said that in the case of the military communication line, the call was made in the morning, but the communication line has shown an unstable state since then.
The official said that there is a possibility that there may have been a technical failure due to heavy rains in North Korea, and that they are working on confirmation.
