North Korean authorities are again tightening control over the Sino-North Korean border following the emergence of smuggling in some regions amid rumors that cross-border trade will resume. The authorities have reportedly moved to implement a variety of measures to prevent smuggling and defections across the border.
A source in Yanggang Province told Daily NK earlier today that the authorities have increased the number of Ministry of State Security (MSS) officials in the border region recently. There has been a particular increase in MSS officials in areas where smuggling activities and "illegal border crossings" have occurred.
