It appears tensions are increasing on the Korean Peninsula.

The North will "deploy more powerful armed forces and new-type military hardware in the region along the Military Demarcation Line," the ministry added.

The move came in response to South Korea's partial suspension of the agreement after the North launched a military spy satellite into orbit late Tuesday night. The South restored aerial surveillance and reconnaissance activities in the border area between the two Koreas on Wednesday afternoon, a military spokesperson confirmed at a press briefing.
