It is presumed that the alarm sound did not sound because a screw in the “upper detection trigger” of the iron fence in front of the DMZ was loosened when the North Koreans left South Korea. Military authorities plan to thoroughly investigate and maintain the upper detection trigger. On the 25th, the military authorities called in a group of reporters to open the stage as the unit in charge of the border of the iron fence GOP (general outpost, geofi) in the Eastern Front DMZ. Last 3 days North Korean residents monthly budget At that time, it was a place to directly explain the results of research on the cause of the non-functioning of the scientific boundary system. The 975 m high site that was revealed to reporters on this day was noon, but the wind was blowing strong and the temperature dropped below freezing, and the early winter cold was complete. Throughout listening to the explanations of the military authorities, the warmth of the warm compress provided by the local unit was appreciated. The rugged mountains and valleys connect wherever I look around east, west, north, south, and south, which makes me realize that this is an eastern front with rugged terrain. The local commander pointed north with his hand and said, “I can see Mount Geumgang on a good day,” but in fact, I could see the outline of the mountain. The mountainous area stretching from east to west was traversed by a 3-4 m high demilitarized zone (DMZ) that rose and fell to the point of contact with the snow. Although I walked uphill along the iron fence with the guidance of the soldiers, the slope was so deep that my breath quickly reached the bottom of my chin. I felt the difficulties of the soldiers who came and went from these places every day and I stayed alert.

The military pointed to a railway fence stretching far away and explained that “the railway that divides the Korean peninsula by about 300 km is doubled, but there are some places triplexed.” A “network of light” (optical cable network) was installed that was tightly woven into a grid on the southern railroad fence. Military officials pointed to the black beam of light and said, “When a certain level of pressure is applied to the light, an alarm will sound.” The optical network is said to be designed so that when the passage of the coated optical fiber is narrowed by pressure, a signal is lost and an alarm sounds. However, it appears that the North Koreans residing in South Korea on the 3rd, when crossing the iron fence, climbed the iron poles and dispersed the pressure to prevent the light beam from sounding. The iron pillars were built at regular intervals as pillars supporting iron fences. As reported in the media so far, if the North Korean residents of Vietnam were a small physique weighing 50 kg or more, and had a slim body after learning gymnastics, it seemed that they could easily climb the iron pole. The military officer said: “With this tremor, the alarm does not sound. The alarm sounds only when the light grid is cut or bent. “The pressure level at which the alarm sound operates is said to be adjusted so that the alarm sound is not caused by wind. Optical grid malfunctions acted as a loophole when the light North Koreans crossed the iron fence. A “Y-shaped iron fence” with a circular barbed wire was installed on top of the fence, and also installed a detector called an “upper detection bracket”. This bracket should also sound an alarm when someone steps on it to try to break it. A military officer said: “This bracket was installed only in areas where enemy intrusion was expected, and was not installed in areas where North Korean residents of Vietnam came from at the time. “Military authorities plan to install all upper detection brackets on the entire front line barbed wire with es you incident. The optical network was installed up to a height of approximately 1 meter higher than the iron fence. At the end of the wire fence, a support bar of about 1.2m was added, and the light net was placed on the support bar here. There was also a detector called a “top detection inductor” at the end. The alarm is said to sound when someone steps on it or a certain level of charge is applied. On the 3rd, it is estimated that North Korean residents stepped on this upper-level detection trigger and crossed, but the alarm sound did not work at the time.

The military officer said: “As a result of a joint investigation with a specialized company, it was confirmed that the screw that transmits the pressure to the sensor inside the upper detection inductor is loose.” It is estimated that it was not possible ”. In conclusion, the iron fence was equipped with light nets, upper detection mounts, and upper detection triggers, but at the time of the North Korean people’s monthly check on Day 3, these triple alarm sound systems were useless. These scientific border systems installed on these iron fences are said to be generally only visually inspected. The military officer said: “The upper detection trigger is riveted so that the interior cannot be opened, and it is difficult to do a separate detailed inspection because it is on a high rail fence.” I ask an outside company. “In the future, the military authorities said:” We will fully investigate the upper detection trigger and ensure its normal operation through maintenance. “It is said that the upper detection inductor, which became a problem this time, it has been installed for more than 5 years. Taking into account that the military authorities see the expiration date of this equipment for about 10 years, the suspicion is raised that it is not defective in the first place. In this regard, a military officer He said, “2 years have passed for the defect repair period, and as a result of investigating equipment elsewhere, this problem appeared only in a small part, so it seems to be an aging phenomenon rather than defective parts.” Early on the 3rd, a North Korean resident crossed the Eastern Front rail fence into South Korea. At that time, the military did not flash the light when they reside Before they crossed the fence, but after observation with a thermal imaging camera (TOD), the military immediately sent to secure recruits in the area of ​​the civilian control boat 1.5 km from the fence. An official from the Joint Chiefs of Staff who accompanied reporters on the day said: “The operation at the time was a legitimate operation in which deserters were identified and recruits were secured in accordance with Republican border operation procedure.” However, many media have criticized the “border failure” for not blocking the wall’s policy in advance. It is reported that this event of face-to-face explanation of the reporters was prepared before the explanation of the National Assembly by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Joint Chief) on the 26th. However, on the 3rd, this event was carried out in units close, not North Koreans. Military officials explained: “We have selected an area that can better understand the site of the Eastern Front.” The day before, when social distancing in the metropolitan area was raised to the second stage, an opinion was formulated: “Isn’t it necessary to postpone the explanatory act?” It is known to have progressed.
