North Korean authorities recently established two new sentry posts on roads heading into Chagang Province as part of efforts to better monitor the movement of people and goods into the area, Daily NK has learned.
On Apr. 10, two sentry posts managed by the Ministry of State Security (MSS) were built on the highway and railway in Kaegogae Pass leading into Songwon County, a Daily NK source in the province reported on Apr. 22.
