SKOREA-NKOREA-ISLAND

In this picture taken on October 28, 2022, "dragon's teeth" fortifications are seen along a beach to deter invasion from North Korea, at Baekryeong Island, located two kilometres from the de facto maritime border and just 14 kilometres from the North Korean mainland. - Far closer to the North Korean mainland than it is to the South, Baekryeong is a fortress: tanks are parked at the sides of roads, there are guard posts on every hill, and the picturesque beaches are covered in "dragon's teeth" fortifications to deter invasion. - TO GO WITH: SKorea-NKorea-island (Photo by Anthony WALLACE / AFP) / TO GO WITH: SKorea-NKorea-island (Photo by ANTHONY WALLACE/AFP via Getty Images)
