Etwas verwirrend für mich die Situation um die gekappten Telefonverbindungen zwischen Nord- und Südkorea (bzw. welche Telefonverbindungen es zwischen Nord und Süd überhaupt gibt):
Eine Sprecherin des südkorean. Präsidentenbüros erklärte heute, dass die Telefonverbindung des Roten Kreuzes -welche via Panmunjom gelegt ist - stillgelegt wäre, während eine direkte Telefonverbindung zwischen den beiden Militärführungen nach wie vor intakt sei ?!
SEOUL, March 13 (Yonhap) -- A military hotline remains open between South and North Korea, a presidential spokeswoman said Wednesday, though the communist nation cut off a Red Cross telephone line at the border village of Panmunjom earlier this week.
"Currently, the military communication (line) is operating normally, though North Korea severed the Panmunjom direct phone (line)," presidential spokeswoman Kim Haing said. "If necessary, we plan to send a message to North Korea via this (line)."
The North cut off the Panmunjom line on Monday in anger over joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States, and a new U.N. Security Council resolution against the country for its third nuclear test.
