North Korea has significantly militarized the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) by deploying an estimated one million landmines and new artillery units, while simultaneously escalating psychological warfare through loudspeaker broadcasts and issuing directives for 'resolute action' against South Korean threats. This represents a concrete shift in Pyongyang's military posture and rhetoric, increasing the risk of localized clashes, though the full operational intent remains unclear.
