Although the hostilities between North and South Korea ended on July 27, 1953, with the signing of an armistice, the war between the countries continues to this day. To this day, no peace has been concluded between the conflicting countries.

Under the armistice, hostilities ceased and a demilitarized zone "DMZ" operates in the area 2 km south and 2 km north of the so-called "Kansas-Wyoming" line, where the front stabilized in 1951. The DMZ area stretches for 150 kilometers.
