NORTH KOREA blew up 10 of its front-line guard posts along the heavily fortified border with South Korea today as part of an agreement to ease tensions.

A military leaders’ summit in Pyongyang in September agreed to eventually dismantle all guard posts inside the 155-mile-long, 2.5-mile-wide border.

They subsequently withdrew weapons and troops from 11 of their guard posts and decided to completely dismantle 10 of them by the end of November.
