Riga 91:
A 2007 [[Reuters]] report revealed that there is no coast to coast wall located across the DMZ and that the pictures of a "wall" which have been used in North Korean propaganda have merely been pictures of concrete anti-tank barriers.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-korea-north-wall/north-korea-asks-south-to-tear-down-imaginary-wall-idUSSEO20068620071231|title=North Korea asks South to tear down imaginary wall|first=Jon|last=Herskovitz|date=31 December 2007|work=Reuters|accessdate=1 October 2018}}</ref> While 800,000 landmines were being removed in 2018, it was shown that the [[Joint Security Area]] along the Korean border was guarded by standard [[barbed wire]].<ref name=bbckoreaoct>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-45704909|title=Koreas begin clearing landmines from heavily fortified border|last=|first=|date=1 October 2018|work=BBC News|access-date=9 February 2019|language=en-GB}}</ref>

[[Electric fence]]s are used in the Korean Demilitarized Zone as a means to seal off North Korea from South Korea. Behind the fence, there is a strip which has [[land mine]]s hidden beneath it.]]
The North Korean side of the DMZ primarily serves to defend North Korea from invasion by South Korean forces. It also serves a similar function as the [[Berlin Wall]] and the [[inner German border]] did against its own citizens in the former [[East Germany]] in that it stops North Korean citizens from defecting to South Korea.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qsl.net/ah6hy/SKDMZ.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2017-03-12 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914011727/http://www.qsl.net/ah6hy/SKDMZ.html |archivedate=14 September 2016 }} Bottom of the page.
