North Korea says will cut off military hotline with South Korea

North Korea said on Wednesday that it will cut off a key military hotline with South Korea that permits cross border travel to a jointly run industrial complex in the North.                  

A statement sent on Wednesday to South Korea from Korea's chief delegate to inter-Korean military talks announced the news.               

It is worth mentioning that North Korea recently cut a Red Cross hotline between the two Koreas, but maintained the hotline linking aviation authorities in both countries.                   

The hotline mentioned is significant since both countries use it to communicate since hundreds of workers travel back and forth to the Kaesong industrial complex.              

Officials say more than 900 South Korean workers were in Kaesong on Wednesday.                  

North Korea's move comes in light of routine U.S.-South Korean drills and recent U.N. sanctions punishing it for its Feb. 12 nuclear test.
